Human Pally14/Ftr6/Epic3 - Sword and Board

Where can I find a good tanking feat line?

Going pure paladin human is better option, going str and cha based, taking 41 vanguard for capstone, 13 sacred defender for 20%hp, 13 harper for meele power, 12 kotc for divine might, exalted cleave and 1 human for damage boost.
feats:
3xthf, improved critical slashing, overwhelming critical, power attack, cleave, great cleave, dwarven axe proficienty, shield mastery, improved shield mastery, perfect thf, perfect twf.

Destiny: LD
twists:
legendary shield mastery, cocoon, optional(confront any foe).

max str, then focus on constitution and charisma.

weapon: dwarven axe(best thunderfoged)
Shield: any large(epic talon)

Thank you for the advice but I'm not starting this character out so 20pally is not an option it already is 14/6.
So I have 4 fighter bonus feats, a human bonus feat and then 6 regular feats plus my level 21 feat which may be epic. so that is 4+1+6+1 for 12 total feats right now.

Improved shield bash, emp healing, quicken, magical training or combat expertise could improve your tankiness. The ones suggested earlier would be a max paladin faceroll DPS build. If you want more DPS on your build add stunning blow and shield bash to the above list.

Currently I am level 23 - as I said already Pal/Ftr 14/6, so I think this is what i will go with (using my heart of wood I started with)


Human feat - Bastard Sword (I just like swords better then axes)
Lvl1 – Shield mastery
Ftr1 – Power attack
Ftr2 – Cleave
Lvl3 – Two Handed Fighting
Lvl6 – Toughness
Ftr4 – Improved Two Handed Fighting
Lvl9 – Improved critical slashing
Lvl12 – Great cleave
Lvl15 – Improved shield mastery
Lvl18 – Greater Two Handed Fighting
Ftr6 – Improved shield bash

Epic Feats 21,24,27
21 – Bulwark of Defense
24 – Overwhelming critical
27 – Epic Damage Reduction or Epic Toughness

Epic Destiny Feats 26,28
26 – Probably has to be Divine, so Guardian Angel or Toughness (leaning towards toughness)
28 – Perfect Two Handed Fighting – must get a Primal Sphere destiny maxed out

The good news: in U23, paladins are getting a big buff and the new Vanguard tree is coming.

The bad news: being pal 14 means only getting one lvl 4 spell slot, which will mean having to choose between Zeal and the new-n-improved Holy Sword. Non-Swashbuckling S&B DPS is still gonna be weaker than everything else. Also, U23 isn't out yet.

I mostly agree with your feat list except for Toughness and Bulwark of Defense; I would take Stunning Blow & Emp Heal instead. Instead of eToughness or eDR, maybe Blinding Speed or Quicken? For ED feats, pick two from: PTHF, PTWF, Holy Strike; and First Blood, Elusive Target.

S&B go pure, probably the same for THFing.

Splash maybe on a TWFing Paladin and even there I'm not sure yet.
