Kurlag's Stats

Hi, all.

Has anyone developed stats for the Emporium's half-ogre bouncer, Kurlag (Dungeon 124 page 53)? He is a 4th-level fighter, and is probably one tough customer. While he should not be an issue, I imagine there are some PCs (mine) that might start trouble with him, among others.

Just curious to see if any has a treatment on him. If not, I will post some thing on this brute later.

Happy Gaming.

Does anyone know where to find official rules for half-ogres? If half-ogre is a template, shall we assume Kurlag is half-human, half-ogre?


The Half-Ogre appears on p. 217-218 of Savage Species, however, I'll bet that Kurlag will be one of the many NPC's that are stated out in the AOW Overload...


Thei'r also in Races of Destiny, and as with nearly all half breeds from WOTC thei'r half human.


Well, D&D is from the perspective of humans after all.

At any rate, the half-ogre in Savage Species is a little over-powered for an LA of +1. The half-ogre in the Races of Destiny is much more balanced. The large size alone is worth a +1 to ECL.

Just my two cents: with care you can take big advantage of the half-ogre's reach. Any character that wants to melee attack you must enter a threatened square (10 ft away) and then leave that threatened square to reach you, provoking an attack of opportunity.

And imagine giving the character a Large spiked chain :o

I can think of a number of other ways to wreak havoc with that reach. I had a discussion with a buddy -- we agree that stat bonuses alone cease to mean much at higher levels. But the reach never goes away, and always means something in melee.

I think it's worth the +1 ECL, despite the -1 on attack/AC.

Admittedly, the half-ogre isn't good for much beyond fighter/barbarian.

Given the effectiveness of a half-ogre's melee attacks, I consider this a biggie.

big half-ogre fan,
who's convinced someone in the group he's DMing to play one, because they are so cool :)
