Half-Ogre?

[Ebon Shar]

Edited for clarity:

I'm looking for a playable half-ogre. Has anyone played around with this possible race? Thanks.

Off the top of my head. Do note, I tried very hard not to make them obviously hack and smash characters; hence the half-oni fluff/feat. It's difficult to make a race that, under most circumstance, be entirely melee (fighter, barbarian, etc...) oriented since you don't want it to be the obvious choice when picking that class every time. It's probably not at all what you were looking for, but it's balanced (or even underpowered maybe) .

Large Frame
Heroic
Prerequisite: Half-ogre
Benefit: You have reach 2 with any two-handed weapon you wield (so a half-ogre with a polearm has reach 3).

Half-oni

Prerequisite: Half-ogre, 13 Cha

Play a Half-ogre if...
* you want to be feared for your dangerous heritage.
* you want to catch enemies off guard with unexpected displays of power either physical and supernatural.
* you want to play a Fighter, Warlock, or Warlord.

Half-ogres are a fel-bred race. The name can be deceptive, though, because half-ogres are not only the progeny of Ogres, but also Oni. Only the skilled eye can really tell the difference between the two, which is why it's often too late when an enemy realizes they charged the wrong foe.
