Glutton
While all orcs are by nature fond of eating, they have a tendency to avoid obesity by the rigors of their every day lives. An orc tribe, even a prosperous one, will rarely produce enough food for any members of the tribe to grow overweight. In rare events, an orc will find a way to gain access to large amounts of food and indulge himself in gluttony. Such an orc might eventually develop into a glutton, an enormous and bloated creature far more resilient than common orcs. While obesity for normal creatures has little beneficial side-effects, it is a very different case for orcs. They tough tissue and their strong muscles can support more weight than for most creatures and even the fat itself on a glutton is far more durable. The enormous glutton is a very durable foe in combat, used to throwing his weight around to subdue his opponents. While most combatants strive to avoid and dodge enemy attacks, the glutton just ignores the puny weapons of his foes. Amongst orcs, especially large and famous gluttons are revered as heroes. The glutton prestige class is mostly picked by barbarians, fighters or in rare cases monks. It is very rarely picked by other classes.

Class Features
All of the following are Class Features of the glutton prestige class.
Larger than Life (Ex): At 1st level, and every second level after that, the glutton increases in size from his constant overeating. The weight of the glutton increases by 50 lb, he gains a +1 bonus to his Constitution, a +1 bonus to all Bull Rush, Grapple and Overrun attacks and suffers a -1 penalty to his Dexterity. At level 3 and 7 his movement speed also decreases by 5 ft.
Raving Appetite (Ex): At 1st level, the glutton gains an enormous appetite compared to normal orcs. The glutton must consume twice as much food as a normal orc. If the glutton is unable to locate and devour a sufficient amount of food for a prolonged period of time (48 hours or more), he will temporarily loose all benefits from this prestige class until he is able to eat as he sees fit again. If the glutton gains access to a large food supply again, it will take a full day of eating normally for the power of this prestige class to be regained.
Oppressive Bulk (Ex): At 2nd level, the glutton's enormous size and weight causes him to injure his opponent when he performs special attacks on them. The glutton causes 1d6 points of damage to any opponent he performs a successful Bull Rush, Grapple, Overrun or Trip attack against. At level 4, the damage caused increases to 1d8, at level 6 it increases to 1d10, at level 8 it increases to 2d6 and at level 10 it increases to 2d8.
Intimidating Size (Ex): At 3rd level, the glutton learns to use his great size to intimidate opponents. The glutton may add his Constitution modifier to his Intimidate checks instead of his Charisma modifier.
Get in my Belly (Ex): At 4th level, the glutton is able to quickly regain lost health by eating. By spending a full round action eating, the glutton is healed of 2d6 points of damage. The glutton must have at least 5 lb. of food available to eat to gain the benefit of the special ability. If the glutton chooses, he can eat of a slain foe or friend in his immediate vicinity. The slain foe must be within reach of the glutton for him to eat. The glutton can also eat of a creature that isn't dead but merely incapacitated. Doing so causes an amount of damage to the foe equal to the amount of Hit Points regained by the glutton. At 8th level, the amount of Hit Points regained by using this special ability increases to 4d6. The Get in my Belly ability can be used a number of times per day equal to the glutton's Constitution modifier.
Armor of Flesh (Ex): At 5th level, the pure size of the glutton makes him harder to injure. All damage taken by the glutton is decreased by two points. This applies to both physical as well as magic damage, making it essentially similar to Hardness. The reduction stacks with other types of damage reduction or energy resistance. At 9th level, the amount of damage taken is reduced by four points instead of two points.
Foul Guts (Ex): At 6th level, the foul and acidic guts of the glutton may spill forth when he is seriously injured. Whenever an opponent causes a critical hit on the glutton, the stinking fat and blood of the glutton will spray all over the foe, causing 1d10 points of Acid damage. If damaged by the ability, the opponent must succeed at a Fortitude Saving Throw (DC 12) or catch Filth Fever.
Stone Belly (Ex): At 7th level, the glutton has become so accustomed to eating foul and revolting food that his stomach is capable of digesting almost anything. The glutton becomes immune to diseases or poisons that spread by ingestion.
Legendary Size (Ex): At 10th level, the glutton grows so large that his size is increased by one category. The glutton receives all the penalties and benefits of his increased size. In addition to the normal benefits and hindrances of growing in size, the glutton gains a +2 bonus to his Strength, Constitution and Natural Armor and the weight of the glutton increases by 100 lb.
