I enjoy playing (and tend to last the longest) with tank builds. My favourite would probably be a Fighter->Dwarven Defender to run through the OC/SoU/HoTU with (fighter to level 7 to get the required DD feats, and the other usual offensive ones). My last one had starting stats of 15/13/18/13/9/7, and goes for the Battleaxe combined with tower shield approach - the result is an excellent armour class, good melee skill (weapon specialisation, blind fight, improved knockdown, expertise to name a few of the more potent feats), masses of hitpoints (thanks to the D12 of the DD combined with Toughness and an unbuffed 18 CON) and when in defensive stance mode can take down pretty much any melee foe. Spellcasters aren't too much trouble using (improved) knockdown and blind fight (to punch through any possible concealment). When getting to epic levels, the DD Damage Reduction combined with the damage reduction feats can lead to over 20/- points of damage being shrugged off each hit by the end of HoTU! Quite a simple build, but a tank in every sense of the word. I'm thinking of using this build for my first run through NWN 2.
