The Half Ogre is a powerful humanoid that is normally a combination of Human/Ogre or Orc/Ogre. Ogres are distant, primitive cousins and can produce offspring. Like many Half-breeds, ½ Ogres are sterile-they are incapable of producing offspring. The Half Ogre is very strong and tough, they make superb warriors. Due to their Ogre parentage, they tend to be dull-witted and slow, some exceptions have taken place but they are rare. Half Ogres are usually used in armies as shock troops or spend their lives fighting in the pit.

Half Ogres have infravision at a range of 60’. They also have advanced healing properties, being able to heal +2 hit points a day in addition to the normal healing rate. Due to the Half Ogres large size, they are able to wield human two handed weapon with one hand. Thus a two handed sword would do the same damage as if wielded by a human sized character but the ½ Ogre only needs to use one hand. Regular human sized weapons are too small for a Half Ogre to wield effectively. Larger giant sized weapons can be made and wielded by Half Ogres, the GM will detail this information if it’s needed. Due to their strength and size, Half Ogres gain one step in their hit die type, a d10 becomes a d12 and a d12 base becomes 2-16. A Half Ogre fighter will have d12’s instead of d10’s. In addition to the above bonus, half ogres receive two hit dice at first level and then proceed as normal for each level after the first.

Drawbacks:

Due to their large size, half ogres take damage as larger than man sized creatures. In addition, they must pay 20% more for clothing, armor, etc. They have trouble fitting in rooms and using furniture made for smaller folk. Their size also gives them a very large appetite, they must consume twice the food and water that a human has to. Being a Half Breed, and large has they are, Half Ogres have trouble fitting in. They tend to prefer the military where their large size and great strength is respected.
