Well... Ran the Orog and Ogrillons in a campaign, today... and they went over quite well... Ogrillon was kind of a glibbering ball of rage, where as the orog is rather intelligent... and even said, pointing at said ball of rage, "I am the reverse crossbreed of him... somehow..."

True. However, 5e kind of strays away from small bonuses to enemies.

I've decided to run a campaign on the Elemental Plane of Water, and I was trying to figure out some new magic items to use... they don't have to be water themed, but there is a dearth of magical firearms, cannons, and persuasion-related items, as well as things related to piracy, swashbuckling...

Working with 5e, I merely need to give them advantage on Intimidation rolls due to the ritual scarring, and disadvantage on most persuasion rolls. Then, I don't need to mess with the charisma itself or make it below 10, making them still work as sorcerers.

Hence why I am adjusting their charisma score. It's not entirely a full-blown conversion. Part of it is taking into account their very powerful intimidation(while they may not be good looking, they are definitely intimidating looking). In some ways, it's both a conversion and a re-invention...

I actually already completed the ogrillons, normal orogs, losels, and boogin(these were all fairly easy). It's the neo-orogs and tanarukk that present the biggest challenge, as part of it is differentiating them from current orcs. I'd alter the abilities, to some degree. Black neo-orogs are...

Hadn't thought about the scorpiorcs before... that's an interesting idea... and an orc centaur would have to be a giant boar (I don't think a normal wild boar could withstand an orc torso...) As long as orcs are part of the heritage, I'm willing to convert/re-invent them.

That's my point... it's not just a barbarian class feature, it's a MAJOR feature of a barbarian. It's too powerful to give to a race, unless it can add to taking that class, like Savage Attacks for the half-orc, Powerful Build, Unyielding Resistance, etc. Composite plating is too powerful(it...

Composite plating steps on the barbarian's toes The Charger would be considered large size, as they are both taller and heavier than half-ogres, which are also large size.

I was, in fact, planning to convert the Ondonti, though I haven't gotten to them, yet. The scro weren't immediately on my list, but I can't see why I shouldn't convert them...

This sounds interesting... and definitely sounds like a weapon for a Dwarf. I may just use this for my campaign on the Elemental Water...

I have been considering bringing back a lot of the various orc and half-orc varieties from editions past, as well as creating some new ones. I'd love to bring back the 2e versions of Orogs and ogrillons, as well as the neo-orogs, and I have already recreated the losels(the half-orc-half baboons...
