half-ogre stats?

[Arabesu]

I've seen many people bring up the half-ogre race. Which book introduces this race?

I've cobbled together the following from various posts: they are ECL+1 and Large size.

If they are in a core rules source and I've overlooked them, could someone post a reference? If non-core, could someone post a brief description of their crunchy bits?

Thanks.

They're from an appendix in Savage Species. I'm away from my books, though, and don't have much info available, sorry...

An old thread that might help.

Just have a look at the iron kindom players guide (very good by the way). Besides some quite interresting races as trollkin and nyss you will find a race called ogrun. Large halfe Ogres with ecl +1.

I don't think the crunchy bits can legally be posted here, Arabesu. If you e-mail me, though, I can send you the info that way.

The Dragonlance Campaign Setting includes half-ogres as a player character race. They're not quite the same as the Savage Species half-ogre.

Cheers,

check the Creature Catalog (under hosted sites for ENWorld) for a good one,

the DragonLance Campaign Setting has one (very good btw, like Cam said)

and Savage Species has one ...

the ones in CC and DLCS are Medium sized and I liked the look of them (stat wise).

I have a home brewed half ogre/orc race. But I don't think thats what you're looking for. Probably about the same as the savage species one. But mine is ECL +2.

Since it's already in another thread, posting it here should be *legal*

Half-Ogre
+6 Str, -2 Dex, +2 Con, -2 Int, -2 Cha

Bonus Lang: Draconic, Gnoll, Goblin, Orc, and Abyssal.

My question is, how come the Half-Ogre template I've seen looks like this?

Half-Ogre (version 2?)
Str +4, Int –2, Cha –2,
Speed: 40'*
Darkvision 60’
Natural Armor +2
If the Base Creature was of Small or Medium size, its size is
increased by one category, with all the appropriate changes to its
ability scores, etc., plus a +10’ improvement to base movement*.
These changes are in addition to the bonuses and penalties listed.
Considered a Giant as well as its base creature type.
Level Adjustment: +1.
