The Old World: Grim and Perilous

Imperial Ogre
Ogres are a large, powerfully built species of
humanoids. Known for their brutality and
insatiable appetite, most of them hail from
the Ogre Kingdoms, beyond the Worlds Edge
Mountains in the far east, where they live in
nomadic tribes.
So called Imperial Ogres differ from their
brethren. They are commonly found in the
Moot, living among the Halflings with whom
they have a strange kindred spirit. They tend
to be smaller and less brutal than their cousins,
but potentially brighter, and usually more civilized.
While their size and bad reputation continue
to cause anxiety and prejudice among
common Oldworlders, Imperial ogres
are an increasingly common sight in
the Empire, where they usually serve
in the army and mercenary companies,
but also deal in trade, crafts and hard
physical labor.
• Fearsome
Imperial Ogres add j to Coercion and Leadership
checks, but add j to Charm checks. This
does not apply when interacting with members
of their own species.
• Huge
Imperial Ogres are silhouette and increase
their encumbrance threshold by .
• Gut Strength
Imperial Ogres increase the damage of their
melee attacks by one, but they need to eat
three times as much as other characters or
they lose this benefit and also decrease their
wound threshold by three.
• Simple Minded
During character creation, Imperial Ogres
cannot choose Noble and Scholar careers.
