TRANSCRIPT
Usually the result of a forced union between an ogre and a
human, the half-ogre is a rare being often unfairly maligned
simply because of their heritage. A half-ogre has the
impressive physical attributes of their ogre parent —
incredible strength and formidable size — combined with the
greater intellect and sensibility from their human ancestry.
With their pale yellow to ochre-colored skin, prominent brow,
large lower tusks, and massive, hulking form, it’s impossible
to mistake a half-ogre for anything other than perhaps an
undersized ogre.
Half-ogres stand over 8 feet in height and have stocky,
muscular bodies that typically weigh in at about 450 lbs.
While considerably smaller than full-blooded ogres, half-
ogres still tower over most other people, and what may seem
like a feat of great strength for a human or a dwarf is
probably a fairly mundane task for a half-ogre.
For many half-ogres, life is pain and misery starting from
birth, and every morning that they wake up is a victory unto
itself. For those raised in the wilderness by an ogre tribe,
For many half-ogres, life is nothing but a series of struggles
from birth. Those raised in the wilderness by an ogre tribe
have a miserable upbringing, viewed as weak, pathetic runts
and never shown an ounce of love. These unfortunate souls
are regularly battered and beaten, and are just as likely to be
killed by a member of their family for an imagined offense as
they are by enemies of the clan. Half-ogres living amongst
humans fare only a little better, often leading isolated lives
shunned by civilized folk who are equal parts consumed with
fear by and riddled with disgust at their monstrous heritage.
Those half-ogres that manage to survive to maturity are
necessarily independent people, relying on their own
instincts and wary of the motives of others. While a half-ogre
may be stand-offish and short-tempered, those who show
them kindness and have the patience and willingness to earn
their trust will discover that half-ogres can be some of the
most steadfast and loyal friends.
Your half-ogre character has a number of traits in common
with all other half-ogres.
Ability Score Increase. Your Strength and Constitution
scores increase by 2, and one ability score of your choice
decreases by 1.
Age. Half-ogres mature faster than humans, reaching
adulthood at around age 12. They age at a notably accelerated
rate and as such do not often live beyond the age of 65.
Alignment. Half-ogres have a tendency toward chaos due
to their ogre lineage. Those raised among ogres and willing
to stay with their clan are usually evil, but those rare half-
ogres who venture out into the world and live among more
civilized people tend towards neutrality or possibly even good.
Size. Half-ogres are substantially larger than humans with
bulky, often rotund bodies, standing slightly over 8 feet tall
and weighing roughly 450 lbs. on average. Your size is
Medium.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Darkvision. Thanks to your ogre lineage, you have
superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in
dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in
darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in
darkness, only shades of gray.
Brute Strength. When you roll a 1 on the d20 for a
Strength ability check or a Strength saving throw, you can
reroll the die and must use the new roll.
Fearsome. You gain proficiency in the Intimidation skill.
Numb to the Pain. Ogres live a harsh, brutal life filled with
misery and suffering, and life is not so different for half-ogres,
who quickly grow accustomed to pain and injury. When you
take damage, you can use your reaction to roll a d12. Add
your Constitution modifier to the number rolled, and reduce
the damage by that total. After you use this trait, you can’t use
it again until you finish a short or long rest.
Powerful Build. You count as one size larger when
determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can
push, drag, or lift.
Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common and
Giant.
