Ogre clans rarely develop the sophisticated agricultural or animal husbandry skills need to support their large numbers, and instead resort to taking what they need from more capable, though far weaker, neighbors. These interactions with neighboring peoples do not often result in offspring, but when they do, it is almost always shameful.
Half-ogre children are most often born to orc clans that share habitats with ogres, although half-ogre bugbears and gnolls also exist. Half-ogre humans are rare, and the offspring of ogres and other races even more so.
Half-ogres often stand out among their non-ogre kin as brutish louts, big on muscle and short on brains. Fortunately, this is exactly the sort of combination that makes them valuable to orc clans. Half-ogres born to orc clans face an uphill struggle, but once they reach maturity they are often thrust to the front of any combat.
In the ogre clans, they are considered weaker half-breeds that cannot carry their weight, but once they reach maturity, their slightly higher intelligence can propel them to positions of leadership.
Half-ogres are larger, cruder versions of their non-ogre parent. Their thick mottled skin is covered in coarse brown hair, and they are prone to warts.
Note: PC half-ogres are medium sized creatures and cannot exceed 8ft in height.
