This may sound like a strange request, but I'm looking for a build which can do mainly two things:

1) mostly be hard to hurt: either through DR, AC or a combination AND have high saves
2) be able to reflect alot of that avoided damage back to melee

Strategically, perhaps they can shieldblock a bit and reflect damage while intimidating. Ideally hit a few things as needed as well but they dont need huge DPS.

I'm trying to figure out what that looks like. Probably a mix of dwarf paladin+fighter? Or other?

One further goal is it should be able to do fine without ridiculous gear pimping.
Feel free to use 32-point builds, and a +1/+2tome or two.

Thanks!

Isn't this pretty much a guard bezerker? Ok, the saves won't be amazing, but otherwise, you can't beat the 9 DR/- + blocking with a +5 tower shield and sky high intimidate (with debuff effect to boot). Throw in some guards and it looks pretty close to what you're looking for.

AC will be awful, but it's not how it works - huge HP pool, healing amp and high innate DR + blocking with intimidate means you just soak up damage and rely on your healers.
