Sorry - just realised I missed the point of your post there. Here is what I think is valuable to a good tank:
1. High Constitution, you want hit points in abundance.
2. High Dex, you want a low armour class.
3. Fighters!!! Fighters first have the ability to wear whatever the hell they like in terms of armour but they also have a lot more HPs at high levels.
4. Lots of Plate mail armour, this is why Valygar is ok in a fight but probably not a tank as such.
These are pretty much in order as far as I am concerned but I am sure the order will be contentious. There are obvious exceptions to the above i.e. Minsc and Keldorn are pretty good tanks but are not fighters. But that is what I would class as ideal. You see - this is why Mazzy is good, she fits all of them quite well. But if any of the Elminsters and Green Dragons out there diegn to argue with me this could get quite interesting.
