My friends and I are doing a new campaign, running level 1-?. I need an Ardent "tanking" style build that's effective from 1-20 just in case. Pretty much everything's a go since this isn't a very serious campaign, and I can probably get away with 1 flaw. The rest of the party is 1cleric, 1 sorcerer, 1 Blue Mage (the homebrew class), 2/3 rogues, and me, so I can get pretty ridiculous, what with being the only melee combatant. With that, I leave it with you guys and hope for a reply.
edit: Doesn't HAVE to be Ardent, but i really like the class
