While I have no opinion on builds per se (I really suck at rating a build), I've always loved the concept of the Halfling Tank. It has so much comedic potential.

[Kaleos]

Well you've impressed me quite a bit ^_^

I tend to use more of a pure class preference with the majority of my characters, but this is a nicely laid out design that's well explained, balanced nicely, and looks pretty attractive even without an entire library (full set of tomes).

I also like that you've explained about the skill points -- when trying to do a multiclass build that can be difficult if you're not familiar about what points should go to what skill at what level for maximum effect.

Bravo, and kudos on the marks ^_^ I'm a sucker for collecting ideas around those.

Why fighter 15? If you went the typical Fighter 12/Paladin 6/Monk 2 you could get better devotion enhancements, +2 from divine favor. You only lose 1 feat, maybe drop Dodge?

Ok I say your note about that, the improved pally aura in absence of a higher level paladin would make up the 1 AC from dodge.

I would at least look at the enhancements to see if 14/3/3 or 14/4/2 wouldn't give you something as Fighter 15 is a near total loss. Monk 3 has a 10% healing amp enhancement.

I thought the Pally Aura kicked in at level 7?. If you are correct in the level up on the Aura, then I would definitely change my stance. If you could confirm this, then I might have to give you a Gornn Hug

Doh no hug for me off by a level sorry.

What about taking the defensive stance Paladin PrE can you take that and Kensai? That might get you more AC that way.

Edit (sounds pretty promising to being better than the +1 from dodge)
Defender of Siberys I
Prereqs: Level 6 Paladin, Paladin Bulwark of Good I, Paladin Resistance of Good I, Paladin Courage of Good I, Paladin Focus of Good I, Paladin Paladin Armor Class Boost I, and any one of the following: Tower Shield Proficiency, Shield Mastery, or Combat Expertise.
Benefit: Protecting the weak from the depredations of the strong, you become a paragon of defense. This prestige enhancement grants you 2 additional Turn attempts, additional armor class when blocking with a shield, increases the maximum dexterity bonus allowed by tower shields by 1, and the ability to enter a defensive stance or to create a Magic Circle Against Evil effect.

Defender of Siberys I: Defensive Stance
You may expend a Paladin armor boost to become a bastion of defense, gaining a +2 Sacred bonus to Strength and Constitution, a +1 Sacred bonus on all saves, a +2 Dodge bonus to Armor Class, and produce 50% more hate with your melee attacks. While in this stance, you move at one quarter speed.

Defender of Siberys I: Magic Circle
You may expend a turn attempt to produce a Magic Circle Against Evil effect.

[Cearina]

Mine is very close to what you have with the following exceptions. I went human and will be 14/3/3 ftr/mnk/pal.
Currently 9/3/3 and loving the build. Still working on getting the ac up but it will get there.

[Zippo]

Over all I like the build. It looks solid and quite survivable. Seems possibly a bit rough to level up but I think I might give this one a shot.


EDIT: I do like how you thoroughly and competently explained the build and the breakdown of the build

[maddmatt70]

Why not 12 fighter 6 monk 2 paladin? You still get immunity to disease at level 5 monk. You get the same amount of feats as you would with your current posted build. You get +1 to wisdom, higher saves, only 1 less bab, and perhaps most importantly you get a shot at the tier 1 monk prestige enhancements when they come out. My guess at the prestige enhancement will be d6 sneak attack, or a special smite attack, or fire damage in addition to some flavor and/or possible ac buffs.

Agreed 12 fighter 6 paladin 2 monk is also better... The other better option then the option the OP posted is 12 fighter 6 monk 2 paladin.

You don't suffer the 1/4th movement speed while tumbling.

The upshot is if you got extra tomes to spare and/or laying around hes not painful to watch grow up. I wore Fullplate Mithral up to level 8-11 anyway and was running tempest spine with S&B with a 50AC. He was pretty much god-like in low-mid levels. And at level 9 when he got his greater dragon marks, I rarely used a heal pot from then on.

Nice
