D&D stats for Shrek

[MrFilthyIke]

Nah! Shrek never actually rides him. Just give him leadership, with an awakened donkey as a cohort

Nah, he lives in the swamp. Druid with Awakened Animal Companion.

Damage: 1d10 or 1d6+2

Don't you mean "1-10 or 3-8?"

Could you clarify...1d10 is which weapon, and which one is 1d6+2?

1d10 was after the introduction of Supplement I Greyhawk.

pre-Greyhawk all damage was 1d6. Ogres got +2 for size.

so i placed both depending on how hardcore you were.

I'm not going to try to stat Shrek out, since I'm too lazy to open up the SRD, but isn't he supposed ot have some wicked bad farts? So, you'd need to apply some sort of feat to give him levels in fart, maybe the equivalent of a stinking cloud effect.

And I'm not sure where you're getting rogue levels at. I'm thinking Fighter levels are most appropriate. He can wear armor, has lots of ranks in intimidate, high int, avg wis, fairly high charisma (for an ogre), low to avg dex, probably average str (for an ogre). I can't recall any significantly powerful act that would imply a huge strength.

For feats I'd go with improved bull rush, maybe endurance.

true dat. but i wanted to make sure everyone else understood it in today's terms.

OD&D wasn't capable of handling creatures with class levels? That's not a good way to advertise the system.

monsters had class levels in OD&D too.

Ah, I knew about the 1d6 thing, but not that it changed in Greyhawk.

If I could afford the white box & supplements I'd buy them and learn them.

hardcore = diaglo

"so i placed both depending on how diaglo you were."

Someone should stat out Puss. That'd be a hoot.
