Ogres are walking mountains of muscle, fat, and appetite. Ten feet tall, five feet wide, and always, always hungry. They came from the east when a comet tore open the Great Maw and tried to swallow their ancestors. The ones who didn’t get eaten crawled out, looked at the hole full of teeth, and decided that was a pretty good god to follow. Now they roam the world in tribes, eating everything that doesn’t eat them first and hiring out as the most expensive (and effective) mercenaries money can buy.

Overview

If you want to play a walking siege engine who solves diplomacy with a club the size of a tree and whose life philosophy is “If it moves, hit it. If it stops moving, eat it,” welcome to the tribe.

Appearance

Picture a hairy, pot-bellied avalanche with tusks and a bad attitude. Skin thick as rhino hide, gut like a battering ram protected by a massive iron gutplate hammered with trophies. Tiny piggy eyes, broken nose, mouth full of jagged teeth that have bitten through steel. Hair and beards in greasy braids, decorated with bones, coins, and the occasional still-screaming goblin.

Strengths & Weaknesses

Strengths: Stronger than a troll, tougher than a dragon, hits like a cannonball with fists.
Weaknesses: Thick as two bricks, always starving, greedy enough to betray anyone for a bigger steak.

Playing an Ogre

You have two moods: hungry and angry (usually both). Speech is short, loud, and smells of onions. Problems are solved by hitting them until they become food or treasure. A Tyrant rules by having the biggest gut and the meanest club. A Butcher rips open reality with a cleaver and pulls out spells the way a chef pulls ribs off a carcass. A Maneater has fought for every army in the world and stolen the best bits of all of them.

Loyalty lasts exactly until someone offers more meat.

Physical Appearance

Ten feet of hairy, scarred, grinning destruction. Gutplate the size of a wagon wheel, club made from an entire tree, pockets full of half-eaten “snacks.” When an Ogre charges, the ground shakes and smart people run.
