[QUOTE="jerichothebard, post: 1906541, member: 4705"] I like this a lot - if you are just trying to make a good grappling class, I think you've hit it. A few notes, though, if you don't mind. 1) You should look up Dwarven defender - The defensive stance might model what you were looking for with your stances. And dwarven sumos would be really cool - in fact, they'd probably be dominant at it (Medium size, stability bonus, good con... hmmm.) 2) real sumos, to my knowledge, don't roar. They seem pretty quiet, actually. 3) I would toss in some other skills as prereqs - knowledge(religion) or something. 4) 10% bigger seems pretty small for a sumo. They eat tons of food to keep their weight up. Maybe that should figure into their powers just for flavor. They also then lose sometimes 100+ lbs in the six months after they retire. 5) Sumo wrestling matches start ambigously - the ref has them bow, they do some scattering of salt, then try to psych each other out. When both of them put both of their hands on the mat, then it starts, and they usually close to grappling distance lightning fast. So, IMO, Imp. Init should be a prereq. Good work! [/QUOTE]
