Editing Half-Ogre (section)

==Pathfinder==
In [[Pathfinder]], things are slightly different. There, [[ogre]]s are disfigured horrors right out of a hillbilly slasher flick - distorted monsters mutated through generations of incest, [[Lamashtu]] worship, toxic food and who knows what other foulness. Of course, as a species of killer hillbillies, Pathfinder's ogres love them some rape. Most of the time, they don't remember to stop before their victim dies, but when they do - or when it's a horribly mutated ogre gal snu-snuing some unfortunate guy - the result is a horrible mutant. See, ogre genes are so foul and polluted that any creature with ogre blood in its veins winds up a disfigured abomination in their own right, and that's one gene-pool that won't ever come right. As a result, these ogre-blooded freaks tend to be just as nasty and inbred as their ogre progenitors - maybe more so.

In Pathfinder, though, these unfortunates are called '''Ogrekin'''; a "half-ogre" is what you get when an ogre mates with a [[giant]], and whilst such critters are still deformed, they come off a lot better than the poor ogrekin do.

Ogrekin status is handled as a template that can afflict Medium sized humanoids. There's two separate versions, but the idea remains fairly consistent.
