Well a Monk at level 20 is pretty much unbeatable Tank-wise because of the AWESOME 20 damage soaking they get at that level.

But on a more realistic note consider any character capable of wearing Silverbone armor +2 from NWN that soaks damage of 15 and adds AC. With that armor then I'd say....

For pure damage a str/cons. fighter weilding a scythe (particularly Death's Handmaiden) with the feat Improved Critical on scythe makes for a real killing machine - even better check out the weapon master prestige class that will be available with the next off. module. That class lowers the threat range of one weapon (scythe) by 2 and adds and additional x1 to the critical (topping out the critical on the scythe at X5). So lets see thats 20 for a critical on a scythe. Deaths Handmaiden drops it to 19-20 (with Keen). Improved Critical drops it to 18-20. The Weapons Master bonus drops it to 16-20 (I think). With a fair bit of Str. damage you could easily be looking at over 100 damage a critical hit, with reasonably often occuring criticals.
