Thus, the ogrima have inherited a combinationof the best and worst features of their parents.An ogrima stands eight- to nine-feet tall and has skin colored asickly bluish-green or yellow. Its head is covered with thick, greasyhair from which juts a nascent horn, and oneís eyes may range frombright blue to dark red. Their fingers end in cracked and thick nails,wicked looking but ineffective in combat. Likewise, their mouthsare filled with jutting and broken fangs more fearsome than useful.Ogrima typically dress in brilliant colors, although they are forcedto rely mostly on ill-matched clothing and gear taken as booty.Combat: Although far from being the brilliant tacticians the ogremagi are, the ogrima are not combatants to be underestimated.They possess the strength of ogres, but have more cunning thanthat race. Worse still, they have limited spell and regenerativeabilities.Ogrima favor large weapons (Greatswords and Greatclubswielded with a single hand). However, they are wise enough to mix melee and missile weapons, and most ogrima carry a stoutbow built for their size and strength. Aware of the danger of spells, a common ogrima tactic is for one archer to hang back and target anysuspected spellcasters while the rest move into melee.In addition to weapons, the ogrima can Levitate, Blur, and ChillTouch three times per day (having not quite mastered the ogremageís ability to fly, become invisible, or cast a cone of cold). Onceper day they can Alter Self, although their great size tends to limitthe effectiveness of this illusion.Defensively, the ogrima tend to eschew armor, relying on theirown natural armor and their ability to Fast Heal 1 hit point perturn to carry them through. Those few that wear armor aretypically chieftains or particularly aggressive warriors who havestolen or captured an ill-fitted assemblage of pieces.Ogrima Chieftains: The frequency of powerful chieftains amongthe ogrima varies according to the overall alignment of the tribe.Lawful evil tribes have recognized the merits of discipline andorganization. Among such tribes, there is normally one chieftainfor every twenty ogrima and a clan chief for every fifty. Among thechaotic tribes, there are chieftains for every thirty ogrima andthere are no clan chiefs. Chieftains usually have at least one level of the barbarian class. In some regions, ogrima tribes are led by ogre magi.Habitat/Society: Ogrima are hunters and scavengers, favoring thesame terrain as their cousins the ogres. Both ogres and ogre magiconsider the ogrima to be social outcasts and treat themaccordingly. This has hardly done anything to improve the eviltemper the ogrima inherited from their parents. Consequently, theogrima are a foul and irritable race, quick to anger and attack, yeteasily cowed by displays of might and terror.The ogrima are basically social -more so than the ogres. Theirskills with tools and crafts are greater, which allows them toprepare dwellings more like the fortified compounds of the ogremagi. Each compound is the work and property of an extendedogrima family. Careful preparations are made to defend the homeagainst attackers, and family compounds are typically crudewooden stockades or caves with entrances fortified by rocks andwooden walls. Several exits are sure to exist, and a guard is alwayson watch.Aside from good humanoids who may or may not be a problem, theogrima must always be watchful against raids by their own cousins,the ogres and ogre magi. Ogres seek to destroy the more skilled butinferior-ranked ogrima, thus removing any threat. Ogre magi preferthe ogrima over the ogres as slaves. The ogrima are more difficultto enslave, but have greater understanding and resources that theogre magi favor.The standard ogrima tribe is organized into different families,3d4 families total. These families may be spread over a broad rangeof land, but the tribe centers around the chieftainís or clan chiefíscompound. Each family builds its own compound, independent ofthe other families. Beyond this, cooperation amidst the tribedepends on alignment. Among the lawful evil tribes, thesecompounds are closely grouped, allowing families of the tribe toquickly unite against any danger. The more chaotic-minded tribeshave compounds that are more widespread, mutual defense beingof less concern to these families.A single compound contains 3d6 family members of all ages andsexes. In terms of ability or role, there is no difference betweenmale and female ogrima. Both are expected to fight and hunt forthe family as needed. The young are minded by those too elderly togo out. The extremely aged, crippled, and deformed are ruthlesslyleft out in the wilderness to die.In particularly dangerous times, an ogrima tribe may submit itselfto an ogre magi chieftain, but the majority of chieftains are drawnfrom their own blood. The clan chieftain can only be an ogrima ofthe family line; only large tribes without fear of their neighborschoose clan chieftains, it seems.Ogrima blood runs true from generation to generation, hencethere is no longer a need for interbreeding between ogres and ogremagi (although it can happen). Indeed, reverse discrimination ispracticed. Ogres and ogre magi who mate into an ogrima clan aretreated with great contempt.Ecology: Ogrima are hunters and scavengers. Their diet is mainlycarnivorous, supplemented by a smattering of wild fruits. Thetribes tend to move frequently, for they are prone to over-huntingany given area they settle in. As such, the ogrima are the bane ofrangers, druids, and those who make their living from the wild.</blockquote>
