**Powerful Build**: The physical stature of Oni monster girls lets them function in many ways as if they were one size category larger. Whenever a Oni is subject to a size modifier or special size modifier for a Combat Maneuver Bonus or Combat Maneuver Defense (such as during grapple checks, bull rush attempts, and trip attempts), the Oni is treated as one size larger if doing so is advantageous to her. A Oni is also considered to be one size larger when determining whether a creature’s special attacks based on size (such as grab or swallow whole) can affect her. An Oni can use weapons designed for a creature one size larger without penalty. However, her space and reach remain those of a creature of her actual size.

Once per lifetime, an Oni monster girl can initiate the Ritual of Marriage. The ritual requires 5 gallons of alcohol, 6 hours, and a location that is special to the both of them. Once the ritual is successfully completed, the Oni monster girl and her partner gain the following benefits:

However in the event the Oni monster girl's husband dies, they also die. If they die their partner must make a fort save DC 10+1/2 oni HD+Cha or die. If one that has died this way is brought back they come back with the Doubt drawback.

**Booze Affinity**: Oni monster girls have a natural affinity for alcohol. When an Oni monster girl consumes alcoholic beverages given to her by her husband or drank off her husband, she gains a temporary bonus.
