Half-Ogre Question


3.5/d20/OGL


A player of mine is making a Half-Ogre character for our game this weekend using Races of Destiny (which I don't have a copy of). I'm making a timeline to incorperate campaign events and everyone's histories. Can anyone tell me what the starting age is for Half-Ogres? Thanks, it will make the timeline much easier.

Starting age:

14y/o +1d4 for sorc, rog, barb +1d6 for ranger, bard, fighter, pala and +2d6 for wiz, cleric, druid, monk.


Is the Races of Destiny version different from that of Savage Species? We're using SS, but I wouldn't like to find that there is a more official version.

Thanks Teasing, appreciate it.

I'm not sure if the Half-Ogre is different from SS, but I do know it's different than the one from Dragon magazine. The RoD version has a LA of +2, while the Dragon one had a LA of +1 and higher stat bonuses (what the?). Needless to say were using the RoD version.

I believe Races of Destiny is more in the 3.5 (But coming out in 2004, I'm not sure) whereas I know Savage Species IS 3.0, right before 3.5 and didn't get a conversion update.

Half-Ogre difference between SS and RoD: Races of Destiny lists the LA as +2, while Savage Species went with +1...

so yes, there is a SINGLE difference. The stat adjustments are the same, in fact the entry in each book is identical apart from the Level Adjustment entry.

For what it's worth, SS was the first 3.5-compliant book (though it came out before the 3.5 core books). That led to a couple of annoying errors as 3.0 tables were referred when 3.5 rules were in effect.

BTW thanks for the info :)
