Would someone be kind as to stat out Shrek-style ogres please? (I don't mean the ogres seen in the Monster Manual, I meant as in the ogres like Shrek was...)

Am I the only one having fun with the Neutral Neutral (Good tendencies) Orge (otherwise straight from the MM) who travels with a Awakened Donkey and a LG Anthropomorthic Cat.

well he's medium (possibly with powerful build) with decent strength, dexterity and constitution, his mental scores are average. And he has some natural armor and possibly DR.

Everyone on this message board is so lame, when we have to talk about turning Shrek into a DND PC race. >_>

Anyway!

I'd figure this stat line for an ogre of shrek inspiration:

* +4 Strength, +2 Constitution, -2 Charisma. Ogres are strong and burly in comparison to humans, but they tend to be anti-social and blunt.
* Medium Sized Humanoids
* +4 racial bonus on intimidate checks.
* +2 racial bonus on saves against disease.
* +2 racial bonus on all diplomacy and gather information checks related to giants, constructs of any sort, and monstrous humanoids.
* +2 racial bonus on handle animal checks when dealing with magical beasts.
* Natural Armor +1.
* Automatic languages: Common Bonus languages: Elven, Giant, Gnome, Goblin, Gnoll, Orc
* Favored Class: Ranger.
* LA: +1
