Half-ogre vital stats

[Pseudonym]

Savage Species has the 3E rules for half-ogres, but neglects to mention starting ages or height and weight. Does anyone have this info from a 1E or 2E source?

Thanks,

 

[Mr Fidgit]

waaaay back from Dragon #73

half-ogres range from 7' to 8' in height (80+4d4 inches) and weigh between 315 and and 425 pounds (305+10d12)

young adult 12-18 years
maturity 19-40
middle age 41-80
old age 81-110
venerable 111-140

wouldn't the half-ogre height be 8' - 9'?

reason I say this is because it says in Savage Species that they're considered Large creatures and you need to be 8' to be a Large creature.


Why does 350lbs (avg) seem to light for a being that is 8' tall and has a strength of 20+?

How much does Shaq weigh plus some?

Thanks for the info, Mr Fidgit.

I'm a bit confused here. The MM lists ogres as 9 to 10' tall and weighing 300 to 350 pounds. That seems absurdly skinny for my image of an ogre. Perhaps Races of Faerûn will shed some light on the half-ogre's dimensions.

Shaquille (sp?) O'Neil is about 7' 0" 310lbs.

He has a fair amount of muscle.

I'm prettysure the 3E Half-Ogre is in Tome of Horrors.

 

[Darmyth]

i'm with Pseudo on this. Way to light for someone that big w/ muscle.


Thanks Trent!


I think that 8'-0" tall with high str. should be around the 400-500 pound mark.

True but it's also in the new Savage Species book.

weird how they are just intruducing the half-ogre now... what's it like?

+1 ECL, not bad really.

I can't recall all the mods off the top of my head (book is down in seattle, 3 hours and a border crossing away atm). Went something like +6 str, +2 con, -2 dex/int/cha, some natural armor (ammount?), large size w/ appropriate reach.


I was thinking about trying out a Half Ogre Shaman (OA class) for my next character. Make him a big ol' pacifist with the Community and Travel domains. Pick up Trickery, Knowledge or Healing as his 3rd domain at 11th level.
