Okay guys, I think I finally have a build worth posting. Maybe this time that will actually be true...
It is basically a version of the IcyHot Draggy Build by Tomaan, but departs from it a good bit. For an open build, I decided I wanted to do one that did not require changing alignments or disciple colors, for ease of use by new players (like myself).
I ended up going with Drider as a race, which I chose because of the Fire Vulnerability which will be overcome by the RDD Fire Immunity. The biggest drawback was the -2 Cha, but I ended up with 26, so it was not a major obstacle. It also has the benefit of coming with Blindfight, freeing up a feat, and Diamond Body, so that by level 3, the character is immune to fear, disease and poison. Also, as a large creature, he should be able to weild a 2-handed weapona dn shield from the start.
At some point I had to basically choose wether to ignore Cha and minimize the Paladin benefits, or max them. I ended up maxing them. I got Cha to 26 and still got Str to 52. In addition to the +8 to all saves (after penalties) got Divine Might for +8 Divine damage that can't be stopped, Divine Shield for +8 AC, and Extra Turning to let me use them more. If I figure correctly, I should have 14 uses before resting.
Beyond that, it should be a pretty respectable tank with a good AC, lots of hit points and the ability to deal damage.
Anyway, here it is, please let me know what you think.

If I figure correctly, I should have 14 uses before resting.
Beyond that, it should be a pretty respectable tank with a good AC, lots of hit points and the ability to deal damage.
Anyway, here it is, please let me know what you think.
