SPECIAL TRAITS

ACTIONS

  • Staff. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (1d10+4) bludgeoning damage.

ABOUT

Ogre Magi are surprising creatures to encounter, especially when one thinks they are facing a standard ogre. Though they look like their dim-witted cousins, these creatures are exceptionally intelligent and possessed of powerful spell-like abilities.

Powerful Leaders. Whether they are created deliberately by some foul magic, are a strange mutation of the ogre species, or are simply a rare breed unto their own is unknown, but what is known is that they are exceptionally dangerous and deadly foes. When encountered with standard ogres, the magi will always be in a position of leadership and command and tend to look down upon their slow-minded cousins with disdain, treating them like fodder to weaken foes before engaging in direct combat. When encountered alone, ogre magi rarely gather in groups of more than six, and even these cabals don’t last long as they tend to compete for power and prestige.

Sorcerous Assailants. In battle, an ogre mage will always use its spell-like abilities to its greatest advantage, opening up with a blast of rime, then using its other magical abilities before entering melee.
