Aug 13, 2003 15:05:38 I read that it was a medium sized +4str+2 con -2int-2 cha and +1 na with a +1 LA which makes no sense since the Minotaur is a +0 LA. Plus the Ogre was large size with a +4 na in savage species for the same +1 LA.

What is the half-ogre actually like. I want to start up a starter campaign before I get my DLCS.

Or maybe the brute race would be the best.

Aug 13, 2003 15:33:26 Half-ogres have a Con bonus, which the minotaurs don't have. The line between +0 level adjustment and +1 level adjustment in the case of these two races is very very close - it was decided that more folks wanted to play the minotaur as a +0 level adjustment race, which is why it is what it is.

You could probably get away with half-ogres being +0 level adjustment if you tweaked the race a little, but in general having a Str and Con boost is +1 LA territory.

Cheers,

Aug 13, 2003 15:39:17 Ok, what if the Half-ogres lost the +2 on Con?

One thing though Minotaurs get a head butt attack (which is quite cool) +2 to na and can take the scent feat. I think that kinda balances out the +2 con really.

And are Brutes PC race as well?

It annoys me to no end that some have them while poor me sits here without.:embarrass

Is the Brute race similiar to the half-ogre race?
