Special Abilities

Savage Strength (Ex) Always On

Any time an ogre makes a melee attack, it rolls 2d20 for its to-hit roll. If either of the rolls is a hit, the attack hits. If both rolls indicate a hit, it is a critical hit. Ogres do not need to roll to confirm (the second die is the confirmation roll).

Ogre

Ogre

Ogres, along with trolls, are the 'least' of the giantkin tribes, although 'least' is a subjective term for creatures that easily reach ten feet in height and weigh close to a ton. They are thick of feature, massively fanged, and naturally inclined to be horrendously evil, delighting in tormenting the weak and exploiting the timid.

Ogres are notable for their horrible tastes. If it is vile or grotesque to other humanoids, then Ogre's probably love it. Ogre's are remarkably stupid, but still display an uncomfortable level of low, mean cunning. Ogres come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, but are uniformly large, thick, and sturdy. Ogres tend to be more muscular and broad than trolls, and usually lack claws on their fingers.

Ogres use weapons, wear clothes, and generally enjoy the trappings of 'civilization', but everything about them is awful. They get along poorly with all civilized races smaller than them, have an uneasy competition with trolls over who is more nasty, and tend to get along swimmingly with larger giants, whom they tend to regard with respect that can border upon fawning, the more powerful the giants become. Ogres tend to be good at crafts, believe it or not, and will frequently make and use various items and equipment.

Combat Tactics

Ogres are simple. They'll throw their tree branch spears and walk closer if they're at range, but vastly prefer being in melee. Once in melee, they will use Savage Strength to overpower their foes and smash them to jelly. Ogres often put off retreat until it is too late, though if they get a round or two to ponder inevitable defeat, they will run away.

Out of Combat

Ogres are uniformly grotesque and awful, but they are nonetheless quite common. Lower level monsters will sometimes have an Ogre around to serve as REAL muscle, in mid-level games they make nice, simple, but dangerous foes in their own right, and in higher level games anywhere you find Giants, you will also find Ogres. Despite their vile dispositions Ogres are highly prized by most more-powerful monsters for the simple fact that Ogres are ridiculously handy to have around. Ogres are remarkably stupid, but they are clever with their hands. Having a pack of Ogres around the lair means you will have furniture that is in good repair, doors that close quietly, pit traps that are in good repair, working plumbing, and numerous other incredibly useful things.
