Description

Ogres are massive humanoids standing 9–10 feet tall, thick-limbed and dull of wit. They live in caves and abandoned ruins, eating whatever they can catch. Their strength is tremendous and they hit for 3–8 hp damage per blow.

Special Abilities

Crushing Blow: Each hit deals 1d6+2 hp damage (range 3–8) due to the ogre's immense strength.

Low Intelligence: Ogres can be tricked or distracted by clever players but will fly into a rage if they sense deception.

30% chance the encounter is at their lair.

Treasure

Wandering ogres carry 100–600 gp. Lairs contain 1,000 gp plus Type C treasure.
