Homebrew Ogre Species Details
Ogres are famously strong and lazy. They live by raiding, killing, and scavenging, either on their own in small bands, or as part of a more cunning and ambitious being's army. If an ogre finds someone strong enough to be considered worth following, they will often become one of that person's most devoted followers, as long as they are given a steady stream of foes to smash.
Ogre Traits
Ogres share a number of traits in common with each other.Darkvision
You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as though it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
Large Hands
Most weapons are too small for you to use. You can only use normal weapons with the two-handed or versatile property, and can only wield them in one hand (though you deal damage as though you were using both). You may use any weapon which was crafted for you or a creature your size as normal. Weapons crafted for Large creatures add 1d4 to their base damage.
Monstrous Strength
When you make an unarmed strike, add 1d4 bludgeoning damage to the total.
Natural Armor
Ogre skin is incredibly tough. When you aren't wearing armor, your AC is 12 + your Dexterity modifier. You can use your natural armor to determine your AC if the armor you wear would leave you with a lower AC. A shield's benefits apply as normal while you use your natural armor.
Ability Score Increase
Your Strength score increases by 4, your Constitution score increases by 2, and your Intelligence score is reduced by 4.
Age
Ogres have natural lifespans slightly shorter than humans. They enter adulthood in their early teens and are estimated to live to around 70, though few specimens manage to live very long past their prime.
Alignment
Ogres are aggressive brutes who take most anything they want, regardless of who has it. The only thing most ogres respect is strength. They are usually Chaotic Evil.
