This class I made as a exercise with a friend, he made a witch doctor type class and I made this. I wish I could post his class as well but he never seemed to nail down all his class ideas.
I hope someone finds this interesting at the least, but if its total garbage I understand that as well.

Masolings are a very hearting and athletic class, mostly orphans, they were raised to endure as they were regularly left in the wilderness to survive for months at a time. This form of hazing went on with growing duration. Finally when it was time to achieve adulthood, the children would be beaten, have limbs broken, and be hunted for a year. This pain and survival became one and the same. A Masoling is a brute, craftsman, self reliant, and furthermore, runs heads strong into danger. For anticipating the pain is only second best to receiving it. Masoling's harness their inner spirit around them to absorb and reflect incoming damage. Most Masolings prefer a two handed weapon, but two weapon fighting is not uncommon.

**Damage Storage**
A Masoling's damage taken places a charge onto damage storage for each point of damage taken. This effect is reset whenever a Masoling sleeps. This effect does not prevent damage taken, instead it can be focused into supernatural abilities . Once a day upon dropping below 0 health you may dump your storage as an immediate action, dumping your storage in this way returns you to Con mod + 1 health and you are exhausted. Damage storage is capped at each level of Masoling for a total of (10 + level + Con mod) and used for various effects including:
Damage Absorption
Starting at 1st level a Masoling can use damage absorbtion to heal himself once per day as a standard action that does not provoke an attack of opportunity. The heal is capped at you current Damage Storage and removes 1/2 the charges on Damage Storage. Masoling gains additional uses per day of DA at 2nd, 4th, 6th and 8th. For each daily use of DA available (not used)you add +1 to all saves, for a max of +5 at 8th level. This bonus is considered a luck bonus for the purposes of stacking.

Damage Infusion

This must be paid each round. The life paid is equal to 2 x current HD. The bonus to attack and damage goes up by 1 at levels 5, 10, 15, and 20. Exp: A 5th level Masoling would trade 10 health for +2 atk / +2 dmg
