Ogre
The black stain of the ogre horde grew darker still as
night settled of the land. In a series of shallow, barren
valleys to the east of the kender lands, thousands of
ogres gathered around flickering campfires. Gray, greasy
smoke drifted up toward the clear, violet sky, where the
pale moon waned and the first evening stars flickered.
Sounds, too, rose above the camp: A ghastly din of
snarls, shouts, and guttural laughter, mixed with the
thundering roll of war drums and the fierce blare of
horns. The ogres roasted fresh meat over their fires
venison, boar, and other things best left unmentioned
and devoured it when it was still pink and sizzling. They
washed it down with copious amounts of beer, both their
own sour brew and kegs of kender lager plundered from
Myrtledew and several other towns. Drunken skirmishes
soon followed, rival war bands attacked each other with
fists and blades. Blood was spilled, skulls were cracked,
and a few of the brutish creatures were crippled or killed
before their clan chiefs could break up the brawling.
Once the fighting was done, the ogres turned to other
sport. A few captive kender, deemed too weak or sickly
to be useful as slaves, were brought forth from their
cages, and led to where the drunken ogres waited with
axes, knives, and iron stakes heated in the fires until they
glowed golden-hot. The
chorus of despair.
It was a night like any other in the war camp of Lord
Ruog, hetman of the ogres of Goodlund.
-Chris Pierson, already prodigious strength. As they level, many ogres will take
Spirit of the Wind the Tough feat or similar feats that boost their physical
Ugly and Tough
The average ogre stands between 6 and 8 feet tall. They
have yellowish skin, usually marred by various blotches,
pustules, and other deformities. Sometimes lean,
sometimes fat, ogres are always very strong and very
dense. Their basic toughness makes them very hard to
kill.
Furious and Stupid
Ogres are renowned for their tempers, and even moreso
for their dimwittedness. Unfortunately for others
angry at and hit.
High Mountains
Ogres are most content in high mountains, luxuriating in
the feeling that they are higher than all others and that
they rule all they can see.
Plunder and Persecution
Many ogres will descend from their lofty mountain
homes to raid the races that dwell below them. Those
ogres with a more neutral outlook tend to be ostracized
by their more malevolent kin, and seek work with the
common races as mercenaries, and rarely as
adventurers.
Ogre Names
Female variations of names and words are often
followed by an apostrophe and a vowel. For example,
male names may include Baloth and Grul, while female
may have is largely unknown, as scholars have been
unable to get close enough to an ogre to ask and live to
tell about it.
Male Names: Baloth, Bassar, Belgroch, Bolthor, Dauroth,
Donnag, Elrauth, Feriik, Gobasch, Groller, Grul, Horagh,
Hundjal, Kourrul, Kohver, Lubbar, Molok, Mornag,
Olagh, Raungh, Ruog, Torangh, Ugo, Vis
Female Names:
Clan Names: Darghen, Gorge, Grangh, Kern, Klargh,
Kreln, Reckt, Ripper, Stonefist
Ogre Classes
Many ogres take levels in barbarian, particularly the totem
barbarian. Many such totem barbarians choose bear as their
totem animal, as it enhances their physical resistance and
prowess.
Ogre Traits
Your ogre character has a number of traits in common
with all other ogres.
Ability Score Increase. Your Strength score increases
by 2, and your Constitution score increases by 1.
Age. Ogres reach adulthood at age 25 and live up to
140 years.
Alignment. The ogres of Krynn are an angry and
savage people. They are generally chaotic evil but can be
any alignment.
Size. Your size is Large. To set your height and weight
randomly, start with rolling a size modifier:
Size modifier = 2d10
Height = 8 feet + your size modifier in inches

Weight in pounds = 400 + (2d6 x your size modifier)

Being large has the following effects for your character.
You lift, carry, push, and drag twice the amount of
weight as a Medium or smaller creature.
You deal an extra 1d4 damage with Large size
weapons.
You eat 4 lb. of food and drink 4 gallons of water
every 24 hours.
You begin the game with Large size equipment,
except for weapons.
The cost of any weapons, armor, or gear made for
your size is tripled.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 40 feet.
Darkvision. Thanks to your ogre blood, you have
superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see
in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, are druids or clerics of one of the dark gods. In the Fifth Age,
color in darkness, only shades of gray.
Languages. You can speak, read, and write Common
and Giant.
Ogre feats
If your DM allows the use of feats, your ogre character has the
option of taking the following feats.
Powerful Build
You are more powerful than your size would indicate.
Increase your Strength or Constitution score by 1, to a
maximum of 20.
You count as one size larger when determining your carrying
capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift.
Ogre Shamans
Some ogres develop spellcasting capabilities, and are known as
shamans among their people, simultaneously being feared and
respected for their supernatural powers. Many of these ogres
many are also mystics (clerics).
The acolyte background is particularly appropriate for these
characters.

Taylang
Tayfolk legends are confusing and unsurprisingly divided
on the issue of how the race became what it is. It is
commonly believed among their lorekeepers and
storytellers that they were once a clan of elves and a
tribe of ogres who entered into a sacred bargain with
Zivilyn, the World Tree, to live a harmonious life
together on the remote island which the tayfolk later
called Land. Over thousands of years, the two races
became a single race yet manifesting the characteristics
of both. Other sages claim that the tayfolk were one
race that constantly fought in bloody civil wars and were
punished by the passage of the Graygem by being split
into two.

Ogre feats
If your DM allows the use of feats, your ogre character has the
option of taking the following feats.
Taylang
Prerequisites: Ogre
Your monstrous heritage is that of a taylang, a race of twins.
You gain the following benefits:
Your Strength score increases by 1, to a maximum of 20.
Tayling Twin. You have a Tayling companion (use the Bard
statistics from Volo's Guide to Monsters). Beginning at 8th
level, this companion gains class levels at the same rate you
do (see the DMG for more information on adding class levels
to monsters). A tayfolk has a strong, almost telepathic
connection with its twin and knows when he or she is hurt,
upset, or in danger. This creates an empathic link to a
distance of up to 1 mile through which general emotional
information can be shared (such as fear, hunger, happiness,
or curiosity). Because of this empathic link, a tayfolk has the
same connection to an item or place as its twin. For
example, a tayling whose taylang brother has been to a
room can teleport to that room as if he himself had been
there.
Bestial Aspect. Taylangs generally fall into one of three
bestial aspects, each providing their own benefit. Choose
one of the following.
Ape. You have a 30 ft. climb speed.
Bear. You have a claw attack.
Melee Weapon Attack: reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 1d6 +
Strength modifier slashing damage. This damage increases
to 2d6 at level 5, 3d6 at level 11, and 4d6 at level 17.
Reptilian. Your body is covered in hardened scales. While
ur AC as 13 +
your Dexterity modifier. You can use a shield and still gain this
benefit.

Ettin
Ettins are the fiercest and most violent amongst the
giants. They are two-headed giants and relatively
intelligent. They are considered freaks by the rest of
their kin and other giants consider that ettins should be
destroyed on sight. Ettins are thirteen feet tall and
otherwise resemble hill giants. They sleep all day and
hunt all night. Ettins live in caves in mountainous areas
and will often maraud through humanoid settlements.
There are extremely rare instances of ettins with three
or four heads. These rarities are even more ill-tempered
than their two-headed kin, and more prone to violence
and destruction. Ettins have their own language of
grunts and howls and no developed civilization
whatsoever.
Hill Giant
Hill giants tower over all other ogrekind. Despite their
massive size and sheer physical power, most have
gathered into their own tribes where the dominant
culture is one of neutrality.
Scrag
Scrags are merely trolls adapted to underwater
environments, otherwise possessing nearly all the trait
of their landbound kin. Trolls are prone to mutations,
and after reaching a sufficiently high level, some trolls
go on to take the Lurker in the Deep feat. These trolls
are known as scrags.
Troll
Trolls are extremely powerful, twelve-foot-tall creatures,
with leathery tough skin and a regenerative ability. Trolls
resemble wiry ogres, have long pointed noses and bad
temperaments. Trolls are quite unintelligent; they
border on stupid much of the time. Their regenerative
ability however allows their wounds to heal at a very
rapid rate. They can only be killed with fire or by hacking
them to bits. An offshoot of the troll species is the
Mewling. Both types of trolls live in forests or swamps.
Trolls tend to dwell in clans and have small settlements
amongst ruins or in marshes.
Ettins, Hill Giants, Scrags, and Trolls
These three races are not true races, instead being a product
of Paladine's Curse on ogrekind. As mutated ogres, these three
creatures are occasionally born to ogre parents, only fully
expressing their mutations later in their life.
Ogre feats
If your DM allows the use of feats, your ogre character has the
option of taking the following feats.
Ettin
Prerequisites: Ogre
Your monstrous heritage is that of an ettin, a two-headed
giant. You gain the following benefits:
Two Heads. You have advantage on Wisdom (Perception)
checks and on saving throws against being blinded, charmed,
deafened, frightened, stunned, and knocked unconscious.
Wakeful. When one of the ettin's heads is asleep, its other
head is awake.
Hill Giant
Prerequisites: Ogre
Your monstrous heritage is that of a hill giant, the largest of all
ogrekind. You gain the following benefits:
Size. Your size increases by one size category. You deal an
additional 1d4 damage with appropriately-sized weapon
attacks.
Rock Hurler
Prerequisites: Ogre
You have tapped into your mountainous heritage. You gain the
following action:
Rock. Ranged Weapon Attack: one target. Hit: 1d10 + Strength
modifier bludgeoning damage. This damage increases to 2d10
at level 11 and 3d10 at level 17.
Troll
Prerequisites: Ogre
Your monstrous heritage grants you keen senses, the ability to
recover from the most grievous of wounds, and a vicious claw
attack. You gain the following benefits:
Keen Smell. You have advantage on Wisdom (Perception)
checks that rely on smell.
Regeneration. You regain hit points equal to your level (up to a
maximum of 10) at the start of your turn. If you take acid or
fire damage, this trait doesn't function at the start of your next
turn. You die only if you start your turn with 0 hit points, have
failed three death saving throws, and don't regenerate.
Claw. Melee Weapon Attack: reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 2d6 +
Strength modifier slashing damage. This damage increases to
3d6 at level 11 and 4d6 at level 17.

Ogre NPCs
Ogres and Hags
Hags are female ogres touched by magic, either in the form of
a natural proclivity towards spellcasting classes, or via
heritage, such as feats representing specific lineages. Either
way, they look dramatically different from most common
ogres, in much the same way that ogre mages or oni are
dramatically different physically from their compatriots.
Hags can be mechanically represented as ogre NPCs with
thematically-appropriate choices in skills, feats, classes, and
spells. If you would prefer a full race write-up for hags, see the
hag race description in this book.

Annis Hag
Race Ogre
Class Fighter 6/Sorcerer 4
Feat Grappler
Fighting Style Unarmed
Metamagic Subtle Spell
Spells Known
1st: Disguise Self, Fog Cloud
* = An option found in this book.
Notes The unarmed fighting style simulates the claws and bite of
the Annis. Subtle Spell represents the innate spellcasting of the
Annis.
