I've got a couple; e6 is my preferred design space, anyway...

Master Librarian

Race: Human

Alignment: TN

Build: Archivist 6 of Galaedros

Feats:
1. Heighten Spell, Earth Sense
3. Earth Spell
6. Circle Magic
6a. Leadership

Stats:
BAB +3, Fort +3, Ref +2, Will +7

Assuming 32 PB and Middle Age
Str: 8
Dex: 10
Con: 13
Int: 18 (17 PB, +1 from Levels)
Wis: 14
Cha: 14

Salient Summary of Tactics

(click to show/hide)

Essentially, all the followers are divine casters who, through your use of the Circle Magic feat, feed you spell energy to raise your CL to 20 and make it so you can have up to 10th level spells.

I don't think I need to say what you must do thereafter.

Feats after 6th Level

(click to show/hide)

Spell Focus (Divination), Insightful Divination; Cast any Divination spell, heightened to 10th level, and get a +10 to Initiative.

[Empirate]

Circle Magic is a feat? Where from? I only know about Hathran, Red Wizard, and Halruaan Adept providing circle magic. As a feat, it'd be as unbalanced as... leadership, I guess.

[Amechra]

It's from Ghostwalk; in feat form, it is limited to CL 20 and 9th level spells, so it is uniquely useful in an e6 environment (it is cheesy as hell, though.)

[docmartin]

I have my own little build that I like to play with.

(click to show/hide)

Let's assume we've picked up the noted epic feats and taken Ability training and advancement for Strength. Let's assume a +1 Morningstar and a Gauntles of Ogre Power. We have a Str mod of +8. We're able to execute a Leap Attack charge into an enemy standing 5 feet from a wall. Attack bonus is at +16 to hit, rolling two d20 and choosing which one to use. 4x PA through Leap Attack and wielding the club in both hands. Damage then is base weapon damage (3d6 for Large Goliath Greathammer), enchantment bonus (+1), 1½ times Str (+12) and Power Attack (24). Damage from the attack is 3d6+37, avg. 48.5 damage. Start bullrush attempt through Knockback, with a +12 bonus on the opposed Str check. If you bullrush the opponent into the wall, it's an average damage of 52.
Total damage: 100,5 damage. Not bad.

[Surreal]

Any sort of early entry Master of Shrouds can be frightening (no pun intended) in e6. Perhaps dip that alternate level into Bard to bolster your undead summons. There's also the usual Dread Necromancer dip for multiple turn undead pools, but the cheese only goes so far...

Combat

(click to show/hide)

The Leapin' Landshark's combat strategy is simple.  Each round, he leaps into the air, and makes 4 claw attacks on the way down.  With a +34 Jump modifier and the ability to treat all jumps as running jumps, he only fails to make a 5 foot jump on a 1 (not even then, if the optional rules are used.)  His attack bonus with these claws is +11, and his damage for each claw is 1d6+6, subject to the usual Battle Jump and Leap Attack goodness.

[Shadowhunter]

Dragonfire Adept, Mr. Spell-less BFC'er.

Race: Dragonborn Mongrelfolk. If you really don't care about your Charisma (since you're sucking up a -4 from Mongrelfolk to start with) you can go ahead and make him Artic from Dragon 306 for another +2 Con -2 Cha (3.0 template, just so you know).

Alignment: Any

Build: Dragonfire Adept 6

Stats: BaB +3, Saves Fort 12/Ref 2/Will 12

Abilities:

(click to show/hide)

Strength:8
Dexterity:10
Constitution:24
Intelligence:10
Wisdom:12
Charisma:8

Ability score raise at 4th not used. Tinker with the statline to see what you can make of it. Just keep CON high.

Feats:

(click to show/hide)

1. Entangling Exhalation.
3. Endurance
6. Steadfast Determination

Epic Feats:
Ability Focus (Breath Weapon)
Ability Training (Con)
Ability Advancement (Con).

Breath Effects:

(click to show/hide)

Frost Breath
Slow Breath

Invocations:

(click to show/hide)

Endure Exposure. This is the Natural Spell for DFAs.
Magic Insight or See the Unseen are the two other invocations that compete for the least spot.
Least: Voracious Dispelling. Having a Dispel Magic at-will is very strong.
Avoid DC-dependent invocations since your Charisma is very bad.

Basic Combat Schtick:

(click to show/hide)

Alternate Entangling Exhalation and Slow Breath for stacking movement debuffs and keep moving out of their reach.
You can't add EE to Slow Breath since EE needs damage, but it has a duration of d4 rounds. So unless you roll a 1, you can keep on alternating between the two in a EE-Slow-EE-Slow pattern ad nauseum.

Slowed:
A slowed creature can take only a single move action or standard action each turn, but not both (nor may it take full-round actions). Additionally, it takes a –1 penalty on attack rolls, AC, and Reflex saves. A slowed creature moves at half its normal speed (round down to the next 5-foot increment), which affects the creature’s jumping distance as normal for decreased speed.

Entangled:
entangled: Ensnared. Being entangled impedes movement, but does not entirely prevent it unless the bonds are anchored to an immobile object or tethered by an opposing force. An entangled creature moves at half speed, cannot run or charge, and takes a –2 penalty on attack rolls and a –4 penalty to its effective Dexterity score. An entangled character who attempts to cast a spell must make a Concentration check (DC 15 + the spell’s level) or lose the spell.


That's 75% movement reduction, -3 to attack rolls (-5 if it uses DEX for attacking, such as ranged attacks or Weapon Finesse dudes), -3 to Reflex and AC and can take only a move or a standard action.
Just keep skirting on the edges of your breath weapon and adapt your movement to you opponent and he's going to slowly die without him ever reaching you.

Skills:

(click to show/hide)

I'd say either go for the Knowledge skills or the perceptive skills (Spot, Search, Sense Motive, Listen).
You can do a very good party face with a DFA, between CHA-dependent invocations, social skills as class skills and Beguiling Influence, but then you need a race that doesn't have a CHA penalty and not a CON penalty.
