Who of these characters makes the most worthy tank:

Aerie
Imoen
Nalia
Viconia

Comments:

Aerie: Combined cleric and mage buffs, probably the biggest list of usable equipment for any pre-ToB character (strength modification assumed). Bad Con.

Imoen: Ownage stats, except for strength. Can wear elven chain, or even Shadow Dragon Scales (with a hefty decrease of usefulness however).

Viconia: No mage levels should mean better fighting abilities. Question is whether the perk is too tiny to have any real relevance. Wide selection of good armours, even without strength modification.

Nalia: Ownage stats. Cool con, but that is offset by her mage hit dice. Actually pretty strong. Can use elven chains and is the most obvious candidate for the Robe of Vecna in my all-female party.

I would immediately think that Aerie is the best choice, but I included all in case I've overseen some factor.
