Was wondering if there were official rules, guidelines for half-ogres as a PC?
Was perusing around and couldn't find any references to it.
Any help pointing me in the right direction is appreciated.
Maybe check out the Knight of Iam by NewFire Publishing. Its third party so Im not sure if your DM will allow it.
So, there is no 'official' racial option of half-ogre?

All it took was searching Half Ogre on the SRD.That is a third party source, not official.
Mine's official. :)

As I recall the monsters from that book ARE official, they were used in APs and such.
Y'all are awesome. Thank you for the links.
I remember reading a Best of Dragon issue decades ago about the half-ogre and was enthralled.
Always wanted to play or run one in a campaign.

True in some cases, and Paizo's Ogrekin template is clearly inspired by that monster entry...but the fact remains that Paizo has published its own version that's mechanically different, making that particular Tome of Horrors entry pretty unofficial at this point.
Ah. My bad then.

3.5 also had st least 1, maybe 2 versions of half other. They were both level adjust races though. I have yet to meet any player who had both the patience to read the rules on level adjustment races and the reading comprehention to understand them. I khighly recommend you do not use them.
In a sililar boat with race adjustments, you could usr the 3.5 goliath or nearly identicle half-giant, then reskin to ogre.
Of course with PF raced being a tiny bit more powerful. The level adjustment is a tiny bit less severe, still a 1/2 ogre getting +6 str is too much. The goliath and 1/2 giant might be a little closer to core races but still very powerful.
