Races & Cultures - Half Ogre

”Half ogres are not human/ogre hybrids, but are rather a race that closely resembles ogres in coloration and behavior and were dubbed half ogres by those that first encountered them. They have yellow skin and protruding lower fangs.”

”Half ogres are tougher than average and almost always fighters. They tend to be less intelligent and should roleplay difficulty understanding complicated subjects. Note also that have ogres have a very short life expectancy compared to other races, and they mature faster, so that your starting player may only be four years old!”

”Half ogres are very tough fighters and they know it. It will be very rare when a half ogre shows any fear. They are usually the first to run into a battle and will almost never run away. However, they have an innate fear of undead and will have to summon up a ton of courage to fight any zombie, skeleton, or vampire that comes their way.”

”Half ogres tend to see the world in simple ways. What is good writing if you can’t fight with it? They think most of the other races are spoiled and live too fancily. Half ogres would rather spend their money on new weapons and armor than on fancy homes, fancy food, or fancy clothes.”

”Half ogres think that the concept of nobility is the most ridiculous idea ‘civilized’ society has to offer. In the half ogre tribes, the tribal leaders are the best fighters. In fact, half ogres are constantly fighting among themselves for dominance.”

”If a half ogre sees another, it is likely that they will fight to establish who is dominant. The fight is never to the death but only until one of the half ogres acknowledges the other’s superiority. There is never any cheating now are there sneak attacks in this sort of battle; there is great honor at stake in the half ogre community.”

”They start with two extra Body Points and must pay double for all *scholarly skills.”

*Scholarly Skills refers to the individual skills "Read and Write" and "Read Magic."
