Which means at first level you can possibly begin with a 24 in Str...thats a +7 to hit (melee...actually a +6 to to size modifier) and damage. Thats at 1st level!2) The Half-Ogre is a large sized creature. Cool, they should be...and even though they get a -1 to their armor class and their attacks, they can still wield a greatsword with one hand and still carry a shield. 3) On top of all this they receive a +4 natural armor. Now again they receive a -1 to their AC, but a bit of leather armor and a shield you have a fortress at first level (actually the equivalent of second level)4) Of course the Half-Ogre also receives his darkvision, ogre blood, etc., etc. and these don't really matter.Now, I think the statistics fit well with the Half-Ogre, however, I think the level adjustment needs to be tweaked. Just for kicks I sat down and made one today...I even used WotC's Acid Test (talked about in the book, and no its not that kind of acid). I would choose the 1st level Half-Ogre over a 3rd level character every time.</blockquote>
