Monsters as PC race.

Hail!

Ogre is ECL 8. Base speed 40.
I'd go ahead and just give skill points as a 4th level fighter.

ECL 8 ?? Dragon errata too? (like hobgoblin)?
I am not with my DMG with me, but IIRC it would be 5,
(I vaguely remember a DMG quote about Ogres in 5th level parties, and 8th level parties with a minotaur or an ogre with 3 additional class levels...)

I am also not with my MM, but the SRD lists the Ogre base Speed as 30'...

Ditch the Alignment line. That doesn't apply to PCs. Otherwise, looks good.

Ok, I was just leaving that as a general guideline...
(like CG elves, L dwarves, etc.)

I'd go ahead and just give skill points as a 4th level fighter.

That would be (7x(2+Int mod)), on the Fighter skills?
It is quite different from the Giant's (6+Int mod)!

IMHO, the monsters (as a race) locked better as a somewhat
close package.

Besides, according to the SRD, if he gets another Ogre
Level....

Hit Die: d8
Attack Bonus: Total (Giant)HDx3/4 (as cleric)
Good Saving Throws: Fortitude
Skill Points: +1 per extra (Giant)HD
Feats: +1 per 4 extra (Giant)HD

Thanx a lot,
heylel.

Since they get 1 feat per 4 hit dice I would personally let an ogre PC swap out the Wpn Focus feat for any other feat they wanted...
