This is my build for a melee tank, I use for locker hunting and is strong enough to defend himself from would be attackers. The build will be finished at around lvl 35 which is nice.
Special
7 Strength (10 str after use buffout psycho and nuka for 10 str and 8 ap)
10 Endurance
1 Perception
1 Charisma
5 Intelligence
10 Agility
10 Luck
Traits
Heavy Handed (Always knocks down opponent which is a must)
Bruiser (Extra 4 special points)
Tags
Close Combat (Aim to get 200% but you will need 180% by lvl 24 for bonus hth attack perk)
First Aid ( Can be swapped for outdoorsman or some other if you prefer but fa comes in useful)
Lockpick (150% max 125% needed for expanded lockpick set. Purely for locker hunting, you could swap for doctor or something else if not interested in lockers)
Perks
lvl 3 Adrenaline Rush
lvl 6 Toughness
lvl 9 Even Tougher
lvl 12 Life Giver
lvl 15 Life Giver +
lvl 18 Live giver ++
lvl 21 Man Of Steel
lvl 24 Bonus hth attacks
Drugs
You will need to use psycho ,buffout ,nuka cola and Beer for the dmg reduce and str bonus.
Weapons
I recommend the mega powerfist for most encounters and killing players but if facing weaker enemy's like dogs and rats and etc. switch to little jesus knife (1 ap per attack so you will get to hit enemy 8 times)
At around lvl 30 you will have enough skill points to make doctor 50% (100% when using a paramedic bag which is enough to heal crippled limbs most of the time) and outdoorsman 100%.
When finished you will have 290 hp and 75% dmg reduction (when wearing combat armor)
