Half-Ogres

[Lord Ben]

I don't have the books handy but I'm trying to create a half-ogre.

+6 str, -2 dex, +2 con, -2 int, -2 cha is that right? +2 natural armor? Or is it +4 natural armor? Size large?

+6 str, -2 dex, +2 con, -2 int, -2 cha. +4 natural armor. Size large. LA +2, type Giant

Level adjustment +2? Where is that changed? I thought in Savage Species it was only +1

In 3.5 it's +2, revised in Races of Destiny. In 3.0 it is indeed +1.

Why are all the characters I played in 3.0 nerfed in 3.5? Am I that much of a min-maxer? Hobgoblin archers and Ogre Barbarians got the SHAFT!

The Half-Ogre in Savage Species was horribly broken as EL +1 only races. I had a player use one and I played one in someone elses campaign. The Races of Destiny EL +2 is more reflective of how powerful the Half-Ogre actually is.

This same conversation has just taken place on the Wizards boards.

Rich Redman, the designer whom created the stats for the Half-Ogre in Savage Species, basically came out awhile back on the wizards boards and said "I dont know what I was smoking when I came up with that".

The half-ogre is officialy published in Race of Destiny (3.5)

There's another official half-ogre for 3.5 in the Dragonlance Campaign Setting, though it may not be the same half-ogre.
