Karmic Strike is from Complete Warrior. It lets you lower your AC by 4 in return for the ability to make an attack of opportunity against anyone who hits you in melee. You have to decide to activate the ability on your turn, and the ability to make the AoOs and the penalty to AC last until your next turn.

I'm not sure where Jotunbrud is from -- Races of Faerun, I think.

SolenVlos 04-13-07, 04:39 PM	gives you the Powerful Build ability without the larger weapon part, right?

Jotunbrud isn't the same as Powerful Build, it's the prototype for that ability. It treats you as size Large for opposed rolls like Trip, Bull rush, and Overrun and as Large against Monster's special attacks. It doesn't allow you to wield a weapon of larger sized than normal.
