Best tank

[Run, Just Run]

I am thinking of making a tank but don't know where to start. I have 150k gp to spend but start at 1st level with 2 aristocrat levels. What class is best for tanking in your opinion and best armor. Thank you.

Done.

In my opinion: The Paladin.

Great Saves
D10 Hit Die
Charisma gets added to a LOT of things
1 Level in Oracle and one particular mystery gets your charisma to AC
Lay on hands for quick healing

However, something of note (and you may know this), if enemies have too hard a time and you aren't doing a lot of damage to them, they may ignore you to take on another target that does more damage, but is easier to hit.

@Mariathan thats why I'm getting antagonize so I'm focused if theirs other ways to be focused more that you can think of that would be great though.

Yeah, but this is a whole new opportunity to argue about our widely-ranging opinions.

Play a monk. They're unstoppable.

Kobold Monk. No question about it.

150k should buy that easily.

Now just drop your Kobold Aristocrat/Monk in the driver's seat of that bad boy and you've got something going on!

Good idea but it needs a couple people to use leonardo's tanks, as for the monk tell me more although I wouldn't think they would be great tanks compared to a pali.

[Run, Just Run]

could people stop driving the discusion off topic or give sugestions and not just go off topic?

[Darigaaz the Igniter]

Link to that other thread

This, but instead of a level dip into Oracle (which you can still do) I would take a level dip into Holy Vindicator. Early game the AC from the oracle could be better but it will be outpaced by Vindicator's shield. On top of the insane AC/saves/healing you can do, you bring group buffs in the form of auras
