For those of you that want an amazing fighter/thief or great character to be your number one tank, try this out:

Human Neutral Good Fighter/Thief (Level 9/X)

Statistics:
- 18 Dexterity
- more than 18/51 Strength
- 18 Constitution
- 9 or more Wisdom

Weapon Proficiencies:
- +5 Long Swords
- +2 Short Swords
- Wield Long Sword of Action +4 (+1 Attack/Round)

Rings:
- Ring of the Warrior Thief (+1 Attack/Round, +1 Strength)
- Ring of Reckless Action (+1 Attack/Round)

Armour:
- Chainmail Armor (AC: 2, +1 Dexterity, +20% Cold Resist, Still use thief abilities)
- Black Dragon Scale (AC: 4, +2 to Save Throw, +25% Acid Resist, Still use Thief Abilities)

Shield:
- Sundered Shield of Tiernon; or
- Mystery of the Dead; or
- Other +3/+4 to AC shields

Helmet:
- Blessed Helm of Lathander

Belt:
- Girdle of Ogre Blood (guarenteed); or
- Girdle of Labelas (somewhat random);

Boots:
- Boots of Speed

Make sure to use the potion the Potion of Strength Transferance if you find it. This will give him 18/01 strength and 19 dex. But the Warrior Thief Ring will put the strength back up to 19. (hence why you need more than 18/51).

Final Stats:
- Strength: 19
- Dexterity: 19 or 20
- Constitution: 18
- Wisdom: 9

Now you have a very fast, adaptable tank who can find traps and scout quickly, backstab and shred through armies of enemies, regenerate hits points or steal them with Blood Iron and lastly, provide all the abiltiies of a thief. I picked neutal instead of chaotic so I could use the The Red Knight's Shield and some other items along the way.
