So I'm redoing my Con based warrior class, the paragon.
The paragon perfects his body via training, diet, and special exercises. Their organs strengthen to supernatural levels. Their toughness is incredible.
Adventure: Paragon adventure to experience events that hasten their training. They are often special agents of powerful beings serving as anything from assassins to most often bodyguards.
Characteristics: Paragons are often obsessed with their training. It sometimes matches a paladin's zeal. They are often seen performing dangerous and foolish action just to test their toughness. It's common to see a paragon mock a dragon breath attack or insult the mothers of all of a bar's patrons.
Races: Dwarves, halflings, and gnomes are most common races in paragon ranks. Dwarves revere a paragon's toughness. Halflings and gnomes see paragon's stunts as ways to reach their dangerous goals. Some human and half-orcs are curious enough of their potential to be paragon. Most other races lack the stomach and willpower to deal with paragon training.
Combat: Paragon usually take the role of bodyguard and defender. Their natural toughness makes them perfect for being a target. Some specialized and advanced paragons are great assassins of spellcasters. Their immunities and stunts can cause the first few spells to be wasted and get a surprise kill.

At the 10th level, she can also choose to be immune to acid, cold, electricity, or fire damage. These immunities last as long as she has more than 50% of her maximum HP. The paragon can choose to selectively allow these powers, spells, or effects to affect her.
Bodyguard (Ex)
