The half-ogre *earns* +2 Strength, +3 natural armor, 2 Hit Dice, and their Large size over 3 monster levels (a la Savage Species), but their base half-ogre racial traits include:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">+4 Strength, –2 Dexterity, +2 Constitution, –2 Intelligence, –2 Charisma.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Medium: As Medium creatures, half-ogres have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Half-ogre base land speed is 30 feet.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Darkvision: Half-ogres can see in the dark up to 60 feet. Darkvision is black and white only, but it is otherwise like normal sight, and half-ogres can function just fine with no light at all.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Low-Light Vision: A half-ogre can see twice as far as a human in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions of poor illumination. They retain the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Giant Blood: For all effects related to race, a half-ogre is considered a giant. Half-ogres, for example, are just as vulnerable to special effects that affect giants as their giant ancestors are, and they can use magical items that are only usable by giants. (See the Monster Manual for more information about giants, and the Dungeon Master's Guide for more on magic items.)</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Automatic Languages: Common and Giant. Bonus Languages: Abyssal, Draconic, Gnoll, Goblin, and Orc.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Favored Class: Berserker and half-ogre. A multiclass half-ogre's berserker and half-ogre class do not count when determining whether an experience point penalty is taken for multiclassing (see XP for Multiclass Characters, page 60 of the Player's Handbook).</li> </ul>Any more than 3 monster levels just seemed excessive. As I posted above, you can find that half-ogre progression by clicking <a href="http://www.wakinglands.com/htm_files/races_half-ogres.htm" target="_blank">here</a>.</blockquote>
