Sumo Overkill

Class Features

All of the following are class features of the Sumo Overkill.

Constitution Bonus (Ex): Every level of Sumo Overkill increases her Constitution score by 2.

Poison Immunity (Ex): At level 1, the Sumo Overkill's immense stomach makes her immune to all kinds of poison.

Ability Damage Immunity (Ex): At level 1, the Sumo Overkill's sheer mass makes her immune to all kinds of ability damage.

Disease Immunity (Ex): At level 2, the Sumo Overkill's mighty marrow makes her immune to all forms of disease.

Ability Drain Immunity (Ex): At level 2, the Sumo Overkill's sheer vitality makes her immune to all kinds of ability drain.

Death Immunity (Ex): At level 3, the Sumo Overkill's sheer force of person makes her immune to death effects.

Negative Level Immunity (Ex): At level 3, the Sumo Overkill's sheer force of being makes her incapable of suffering negative levels.

Breath Immunity (Ex): At level 3, the Sumo Overkill's sheer size of lung makes her no longer need to breathe.

Mind of Flesh (Ex): At level 4, the Sumo Overkill's sheer mass of skull makes her immune to mind-affecting effects, and cannot be stunned, dazed, confused, frightened, shaken, cowering, panicked, or paralyzed.

Spell Resistance (Ex): At level 5, the Sumo Overkill's girth confuses the weave of magic. She gains spell resistance equal to her hit dice plus her Constitution modifier. If she already has Spell Resistance, she may add half of her Constitution modifier to that value instead.

Trap Immunity (Su): At level 6, the Sumo Overkill chooses to escape mere traps, pits, and prison planes. Thus, she cannot be entangled, and her flow of time cannot be stopped (such as by temporal stasis or imprisonment). In addition, with a 1-hour purely mental action, the Sumo Overkill may bring herself and up to her heavy load to any point she has been on any plane. Effects that prevent teleportation or planeshifting into an area can stop this effect, but effects that prevent leaving are ignored.

Damage Reduction (Ex): At level 7, the Sumo Overkill's flesh finally becomes amazingly tough. She gains Damage Reduction X/-, where X is her Constitution modifier. This Damage Reduction stacks with other sources of Damage Reduction.

True Death Immunity (Ex): At level 8, the Sumo Overkill becomes so dense, the gravitational pull of her soul pulls her back to life. While she is dead, every day there is a 1% chance she will come back to life with a fresh new body in a completely random place on a random plane. This causes no level loss.
