Animal (ape) Instinct Barbarian with Sentry Dedication would be the easiest way to accomplish that.
Unlike Champion dedication, it doesn't require you to have high Charisma, doesn't bind you to Champion edicts and scales heavy armor up to master automatically, while Champion only goes up to expert, which costs an additional feat.
If you're going half-elf, you can pick up monk dedication at level 9 withoug the need for any dex. That allows you to get Flurry of Blows at level 10.
Animal barbarian /Sentinel is probably what you are looking for. The only way to get a d10 unarmed with heavy armor (dragon stance is the other d10 unarmed, but requires unarmoed). Possibly picking up monk and flurry of blows later.
A few options for d8, including Lizard and Razortooth Goblin bites (not sure if bites count for you). And Golum Grafter at higher level.
Maybe a Lizard rogue, with Champion. To toss around a few more d6's.
That sounds GREAT! Do you think i should take any shield feat?Animal (ape) Instinct Barbarian with Sentry Dedication would be the easiest way to accomplish that.

I'd most likely get Shield Block. Other Shield feats would only be available if you multiclass to yet another archetype (Bastion, Fighter or Champion, in that order of viability). Might not be worth the investment unless you REALLY don't know what else to pick for your class feats.
That being said, some of those shield feats ARE pretty nice. But I wouldn't go Bastion AND Sentry AND Monk. Either go with
- Sentry + Monk as described
- Sentry + Bastion instead of monk. So pick up Bastion Dedication at level 9 via Multitalented and get Quick Shield Block at level 10.
Or drop heavy armor down to Medium and go with Bastion and Monk. If you want Bastion early, you'd need to get shield block at level 1 via the versatile Human Ancestry which would mean no Half-Elf for Monk dedication without Dex 14. Dex 14 isn't even hard to do by level 9, but it is a slight bit of a waste if you go for the heaviest medium armor.

Option #4
Fighter with Martial Artist Dedication and/or Bounty Hunter Dedication.
I suggest Exacting Strike or Snagging Strike as your Level One feat.
Benefit of fighter is they have +2 to Strikes relative to everyone else, and start with two great reactions: Attack of Opportunity and Shield Block. Not to mention armor that scales automatically.
Good luck!
If you want to hit better go for fighter, if you want better armor go for champion
and then take martial artist dedication
can go dragon stance for d10 and aoe intimidate
can go gorilla stance for demoralize with bonus damage on a strike
