All overpowered, honestly.

Jotunbrud is Powerful Build light, and still a strong 1st level feat. Thus, Powerful Build is to strong. Perhaps as a feat to take if you already possess Jotunbrud. Also, the Strength 18 requirement means that this is tailor made to pump up only the already min-maxed fighter types. They need that at high levels, not 1st level.

Slaad Heritage is far to good. The Outsider type is pretty good, and immunity to Dazing is a really potent effect (and one of the rarest immunities in the game). That said, it's also a specific enough feat that it won't see use outside of builds built to get the most out of Daze immunity (Born of Three Thunders, Celerity, and the like).

Same with Rakshasa Heritage. Again, the Outsider type is decent (probably not worth a feat in and of itself, but it comes close), but the Magic Immunity is killer. I don't have SS on me to figure out just how much immunity that is, but...well...any is probably to much. Can you provide an exact amount?

1. I want to have a version of Jortunbrund that allows you to weild a larger weapon than normal. Hence this. I'll drop the prereq for 16 str instead

2. The idea was originally "immunity to random effects," but Daze is common enough with effects of that like

3. Basically, by 16th level, you are 100% immune to 8th level spells

Why not just remove the -2 penalty from Monkey Grip? Jortunbrund+ is not a good idea, as Jortunbrund is already a good feat. You'd have to sacrifice something useful from it in order to add more to it.

2. The idea was originally "immunity to random effects," but Daze is common enough with effects of that like.

Problem is that Daze immunity is just to potent, as it can be easily broken into little pieces. That, and with Alter Self, being an Outsider is a really strong option.

3. Basically, by 16th level, you are 100% immune to 8th level spells

As I suspected. FAR to powerful. This one needs to go completely, or maybe just give you a +2 bonus to saving throws against spells and spell-like abilities.

Okay, I scrapped rakshasa heritage in favor of 2 more, and remodled powerful build in favor of what I really want

Does Child of the Night cause you to be harmed by Cure X Wounds spells?

There's a feat to be an outsider, if you're an elf. There's a feat to be treated like an undead in regards to cure/inflict spells. Bundling both of them together makes for a very attractive feat for some characters. The smite is just icing.
