The devils combined the ogre, demon, devil, and human races. How ever due to an internal power struggle they managed to escape and some how worm their way into the other realms Personality: They are very orderly and repentant for the deeds that their race has done in the past and the pure wrongness that was of the races birth. Physical Description: Ogdeviom are large creatures with red tinted skin and glowing blue eyes. They possess 4 arms, 2 that appear to be two big for them and the other 2 are small for their size. They also have a small tail. they are always seen with chains connecting their arms together and ending in a neck restraint, these represent the control that they all seek to have. The race have worn these for so long that removal of the chains have a physiological effect and drives them mad until the chains are replaced or put back on Alignment: Ogdeviom’s alignment is primarily lawful good, however neutral and evil are rare but still their. Chaotic Ogdeviom are usually those who lost their chains and they could not get replaced Relations: Generally looked upon in distain are well related, from their point of view, with other races. The same can’t be said from the perspective of the other race, they are warily to trust them and often assume that they are evil. Religion: They generally warship any lawful god. Names: There names are either elegant like the elves, or guttural like ogre names Language: common Abyssal, bonus: Celestial Dwarven orc, ogre, igian Adventurers: usually rangers or paladins Ogdeviom Racial Traits *Large *Str +4, Dex –2, Cha -2. Ogdeviom are strong, but not particularly graceful or charming. *Speed: 40ft. *Monstrous humanoid. *Ogre Blooded: for all purposes and effects this creature counts as an ogre *Devil Blooded: for all purposes and effects this creature counts as a devil *Demon Blooded: for all purposes and effects this creature counts as a demon *Chains: They are denied all forms of reach except those granted by their weapons. It the chains are destroyed the immediately enter a berserkers rage and destroy all around them, this action does not violated the paladins code of conduct because they are not in control of themselves however in this rage they gain no benefit from any paladin class features *Odd Sized Limbs: Ogdeviom have 2 oddly sized pairs of arms 1 pair can wield weapons 1 size bigger then themselves while the other can only wield weapons 1 size smaller the it. * Mark of Evil: this creature appears as though it is evil under spells that detect alignment. *Level Adjustment ??

My suggestion is that you make them demon/ogre hybrids that the devils enslaved with the chains or something, then it explains their chaotic nature when those chains are lost. Do you intend this to be a PC race or monster race? I would reccomend putting a HD type, be it outsider, giant or augmented giant (outsider). As for LA, +2 or +3 should work, if you want to conduct a test, pit off a 1st level fighter of these bad boys vs. a 3rd level NPC fighter straight from the DMG. Compare their stats, who wins more, ect. Also do some higher level tests, level 3 vs. level 5 NPC. Those're my ideas. Hmm in the way of name suggestions, try Dirgitz, Algarakk, Zarogre or Malganorr. I'm not great with names.
