Need Ideas for new PrC: The Wrestler

[Jolly Giant]

The Sumo has some good ideas, but... I don't know.
Collectively, it doesn't quite 'work' for me.
Maybe he should get his CON bonus as a bonus to AC (like the Forsaker), since his AC is going to be SO bad otherwise.

Actually, looking back, I think the Sumo is a workable class, probably does what it wants to accomplish, but I think doesn't go far enough with custom grappling rules to make the disadvantages and requirements of the class pay off.

The idea behind the stat-changes etc. of the sumo wrestler is that he goes from being medium size to large. The grapple/bullrush bonuses also reflect this. By level 10 he has to all practical intents and purposes 'advanced' one size, but I din't want to come right out and actually call him large, as I didn't want him to suddenly be able to wield greatswords one-handedly or anything like that... And yes, he ends up with an absolutely lousy AC, but he's also able to withstand vast amounts of damage.
Oh, and I'll have a look at your Contender, see if I can steal anything!

here's my chance

This is probably more than you bargained for, and not quite what your looking for but it is a start (please post any comments about the prc directly to the board)
