Thought that I'd post the heavily modified version of Jenna's Dwarf of Steel build that I use with my str tank, Yiazmat Armatus. I've designed him to be one of the best defensive str tanks that can be made (IMO ), but he could probably use some outside criticism.

Con: 18 (24)
Int: 14 (14)
Wis: 11 (8)
Cha: 6 (3)
Class Progression: Simple; 1-6 fighter, 7-13 WM, 14-40 DD
Stat Progression: First two points into Con, rest into Str.
Skills: 4 points of Intimidate, Max Discipline, Parry, and Tumble (After LSA Tumble), rest into Craft Armor.
Feats

1st: Blooded
1st Ftr: Expertise
2nd Ftr: Weapon Focus - Bastard Sword
3rd: Mobility
4th Ftr: Spring Attack
6th: Blind Fight
6th Ftr: Whirlwind Attack
9th: Improved Critical - Bastard Sword
12th: Lightning Reflexes
15th: Iron Will
18th: Great Fortitude
21st: Great Str 1
24th: Great Str 2
27th: Epic Weapon Focus - Bastard Sword
27th DD: Epic Damage Reduction 1 OR Great Str 3
30th: Epic Prowess
31st DD: Armor Skin
33rd: Epic Fortitude

42nd: LSA Tumble
45th: LWF - Bastard Sword
48th: LL Save - Will
51st: LL Save - Reflex
54th: LL Battle Hardened 1
57th: LL Battle Hardened 2
60th: LL Battle Hardened 3
Stats at level 60, with +12 from items, and no demigod or artifact bonuses = 52 Str, 25 Dex, 38 Con, 26 Int, 20 Wis, 15 Cha
I did not pay attention to much else during the character building / reincarnation process, so for the other stats I can only post what Armatus has. (Single Demi bonuses, Con artifact)
AB: 87 unbuffed with Olo'Ra, reaches into early 100's fully buffed
AC: 131 unbuffed, with BUR gear (+18) to most and +20 to Deflection and Natural (From asmo belt and DD natural armor)
Saves: 69/65/64 unbuffed
He has 37% Physical immunity and DR 24/- before gear is even applied; with the right setup, no physical or elemental damage will touch him without a prior loss of immunity from critters. Combined with the critical immunity of Stoneform, not much can take this beast down outside of sheer luck (except for Malebranches and Brachinae )
So, that's it. I'd like to know what you guys think
