Paladin - viable as sole tank in party?

[Rasputin]

Can anyone comment generally on this without giving away too much about the game besides gameplay?

 

I'm looking to create one of our classic PnP D&D 2 parties with only a human Paladin tank. We also had: elf Bladesinger, elf Arcane Trickster, Dwarf fighter/cleric, elf bard.

 

Any comments? I guess in a pinch the fighter/cleric could tank - but I think in PoE he translates to Cleric for the party.

The Paladin is probably the second best tank in the game behind the Fighter.

Awesome. Thanks.
