Hodmimir, you're not sure what I meant by tank??? Wow. That's a very common D&D term, at least in the CRPG's.

Tank == a heavily armored warrior whose primary job is melee fighting. Paladins, fighters, and barbarians are definitely "tanks". Heavily armored clerics with good STR can make solid backup tanks.

A "light tank" in my nomenclature is a low to mid STR, high DEX, leather armor wearing character who is primarily an archer, but is also capable in melee. Rangers and rogues are good examples of "light tanks".
