The pc who has got me thinking about this is actually a dwarf, but I wanted something distinctly different than the dwarven defender stance (which actually was where I started conceptually); that's why I fiddled around with it.  Also, iirc the dwarven defender stance is pretty nearly a mirror of rage mechanically, and I definitely didn't want that.  Plus, having multiple stances that the character can adopt let me both fill in the special abilities I needed to make this a ten-level prc (which I definitely feel is warranted, as grappling is a major school of unarmed combat) and give the class cool options.2. Again, I know almost nothing of real sumo.  My research for this class consisted of looking for a cool title for it (in real life, there have only ever been 64 sumo yokozunas- the yokozuna is the highest honor in sumo).  How's the balance on the roar of the lion?3. I want to keep the prereqs reasonably easy for a monk to attain.  I don't want this prc to be a monk power-up, I want it to be a reasonable alternative.  So there are three feats (at least one of which a monk will get for free) and one skill, mostly to make it so that monks can't get in til 6th level and other classes will generally need to be a little higher level.4. Yeah, now that you mention it, I agree that the weight should be higher- maybe 25% more than an average-weight member of the race?  50% higher seems a little extreme... but maybe... what do you think?5. Again, I don't want to add more prereqs, but I'm much more prone to add another feat (perhaps delaying monkish entry a level) than more skills.</blockquote>
