But RAW they aren't--and that's the flaw.A simple house-rule I've considered is grant proficiency to skills for a creature's highest non-CON ability score. So, an Ogre with STR 19 (its highest score) gains proficiency in all STR-based ability checks. Creatures also gain saving throw proficiency in their two highest ability scores.Anyway, to your point, sure the Ogres will go after the weaker characters--grappling, shoving, etc.--but have to contend with the stronger characters attacking them at the same time.So, if you are playing Ogres as more effective than RAW would support IME, that is fine, but then I would suspect you are house-ruling them benefits normally not there. One example I hear commonly done that is not RAW is granting Ogres advantage because of their size on attempts to shove a medium creature. Does it make sense? Certainly if that creature resists with STR (instead of DEX), but it isn't the "hard-coded" rule.And don't worry about the door, I miss things too when I am skimming a lot to catch up, etc. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
