Homebrew Ogryn WH40K Species Details
The Ogryn are a huge and physically powerful Abhuman mutant subspecies of Humans hailing from colder regions of the world, developing thicker skin and a larger build in order to survive in the inhospitable wastelands they call home.

Ogryns compensate for their mental deficiencies with overwhelming physicality -- the brutish creatures stand between 8.5 to 10 feet tall and can shrug off physical injuries that would kill a normal human several times over.

To mark an individual as a friend, you must:
- Remember the characters name without notes
- Remember at least 1 nice thing the character has done for you (no matter how small)
- Roll a D4 when attempting to mark them down, on a 3 or 4, they are a friend
