As I said, the search function. Just use Paladin as the keyword.
Fighter/Mages are bad as tanks on HoF for a reason. Much of their defensive abilities lies in their spells. If hit by a dispel, the F/M becomes a veritable naked chicken for the roasting.
You can't switch armours during combat, so if-
a) You're wearing Elven Chainmail, you will still have below average AC, but you can forget about tanking already, unless you intend to recast your defensive spells on the frontlines (BAD IDEA).
b) You're wearing a Robe... run boy, RUN.
c) You're wearing Full Plate Mail. You can't recast your spells due to the armour restriction. Then you have just become a worse tank than an unbuffed Paladin.
Furthermore, the Fighter/Illusionist is quite possibly one of the WORST, if not THE worst, choices to make for a tank from a F/M multiclass. You do realise what his opposition schools are, right? This is NOT BG2.
Elven Chainmail can only be gotten in the Severed Hand at the earliest. What are you going to do about tanking until then? Playing without a dedicated tank for so long is just senseless.

The Bard should not be used as a backup offensive Mage. The Bard is there to SING, and maybe buff up the party BEFORE a battle. If the Bard stops singing during combat, your frontliners are going to scream.
Cheers.
