However, it's still tempting to either make them Medium size or just replace them with (perhaps hardier) orcs simply because I've got plenty of orc minis but only a few ogre minis (and there can be as many as a dozen ogrillons encountered at one time in the adventure).To be honest, Medium size actually kinda makes more sense anyway, given that the MM says adult half-ogres only stand 8 feet tall. That's the same height as a goliath, and they're only Medium. (But then goliaths are a PC race, whereas half-ogres aren't.)Luckily that's a pretty easy change to make this edition. If you take the half-ogre statblock and reduce the size to Medium, the only change you have to make is to drop the hit die size to a d8, which just reduces the average hit points by 4, so a Medium size half-ogre would be mechanically the same as a Large one, just with 26 hp instead of 30. That could work.But if I'm going to do that, I might as well just use orcs instead.</blockquote>
