question for fighter character

[chaos addict]

I'm making a evil custom figher type character using redgaurd as a race using a 1 handed long blade and a shield, and I have some questions. first, which symbol should I use? i figure the warrior one, but there are some other good ones too. also, should I get some spells, and if so, which ones? I'm trying to stick with tanking through the game, so I would prefere no spells at all, or at least as little as possible. also, should I use medium armor or heavy?

You can carry more loot with medium, and move a bit faster. But you get more protection from heavy , so it is a trade off. I think essential spells are mark, recall, almsivi intervention, devine intervention, chameleon, calm humanoid (sometimes you want to talk to your enemy before whacking them ) restore attribute, restore health, restore fatigue, levitate, water walk or water breath, fortify attribute, and heal companion.
