SPECIAL ABILITIES

Oversized Weapon (Ex)

A buck ogre can wield gargantuan weapons without penalty. Most favor the use of immense morningstars.

Superior Two-Weapon Fighting (Ex)

A buck ogre fights with a morningstar in each hand. Because each of its two heads controls and arm, the buck ogre does not take a penalty on attack or damage rolls for attacking with two weapons.


Standing 20 feet tall with broad shoulders, these monstrous humanoids weigh 10,000 pounds and possess not one , but two elk-heads, cloven hooves and huge, meaty fists. They usually wear thick hide loincloths and piecemeal armor, bearing clubs or morningstars and wearing thick fur cloaks in colder weather. Sticking primarily to their mountainous homes, they will occasionally come down from the slopes and raid civilized villages for food and weapons. They occasionally compete with stone giants for territory and resources, engaging in bloody wars that keep the population of both species low.

Buck ogres have no language of their own, but they speak the common and giant tongues well enough. Cunning and savage, they offer no quarter in combat, nor ask for any, a trait that lowers the life expectancy dramatically of a buck ogre’s foes, but also of the buck ogre itself from its standard 500-year lifespan.

While they are not great craftsmen, buck ogres nonetheless construct titanic monolithic structures near to their habitats to mark their territory. These obelisks sometimes bear the graven images of buck ogre elders atop their heights and often have graceful runes chiseled into their sides that glow a warning to all who trespass upon their territories. Within their territories, they carve out massive cave complexes and tend to mushroom groves, keeping their young out of harm’s way and training them up for the harsh realities of their ancient ways.

Buck Ogre Elders

Some buck ogres learn the ways of their forebears and tap into the deeper magics of the earth. These elder buck ogres have Charisma scores of at least 15 and possess three spell-like abilities (CL 9th). Once per day, they can use confusion, heroism and wall of stone. Though one in ten buck ogre elders are either a sorcerer, a cleric or an oracle of 5th to 7th level, all elders add +1 to their CR.
