| If you're not going to use the holy avenger, and you're going to start with an 8 CHA, why make your tank a paladin at all? Why not go with a Dwarf and add Fighter levels instead of Paladin? No use for that 8 CHA anyway, punt it and max out DEX (even in heavy armor, it will add to missile attacks, and the best armor in the game allows up to a 15 DEX to be useful).
If you want a real tank type, a Dwarf Cleric of Tempus is an awesome option. Free specialization in an awesome weapon type (Axes also give you the freedom of using a shield or not). Sure, you won't get that +2 to WIS, but that's made up for with slightly faster level advancement.
