Can this guy be a tank for a group?

[ddgon]

I tried to make him as a Phalanx fighter but relized he might be better as a normal one. Basic stratagy for him is to trip bad guys then attack them. He would gain threat by tripping and controling the movement of bad guys around him.

I want Improved and Greater Will, but didn't have the free feats :(
Stats are 20Point buy like for a PFS Game. Gear is bought with weath per level table guidelines. Focused on Str because he needs to beable to beat badguy's CMD.

I say he would make a good tank. but with the plate mail your max dex bonus is only +1 so your ac and reflex are off. and since Max dex+1 i would lower your dex and use the points in con (hitpoints) or will (perception).

Armor dose not affect Reflex. Also Armor training at LVL 3 (fighter) give me +1 to Dex with armor and -1 Armor check penelty. This is a Normal Fighter build. (the extra bonus vs Fear is Bravery)

It's difficult to be an effective trip specialist without a reach weapon. This isn't WoW, you don't develop threat by tripping people. Unless you are in a confined area, the foes will run around you at the soft squishy toons that are hiding behind you. (This depends to a certain extent on your GM, but intelligent foes will target the healers and those who are doing the damage first.
