Size. Your size is Large. To set your height and weight
randomly, start with rolling a size modifier:
Size modifier = 2d12
Height = 8 feet + your size modifier in inches
Weight in pounds = 900 + (2d8 × your size modifier)
Magic Weapons. Your weapon attacks are magical.
Change Shape. As an action, you magically polymorph
into a Small or Medium humanoid, into a Large giant, or Large size

possession, which shrinks so that it can be wielded in
humanoid form. If you die, you revert to your true form,
and your melee weapon reverts to its normal size.
Speed. Your base walking speed is 30 feet.
Darkvision. Thanks to your ogre blood, you have
superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see
in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light,
color in darkness, only shades of gray.

and Giant.

You lift, carry, push, and drag twice the amount of weight
as a Medium or smaller creature.
You deal an extra 1d4 damage with Large size weapons.
You eat 4 lb. of food and drink 4 gallons of water every 24
hours.
You begin the game with Large size equipment, except for

Famous Oni
Maldred, prince of Blode, is probably the most famous oni on
Ansalon. A former adventuring companion of Dhamon
Grimwulf, he is the son of Chieftain Donnag, and works
tirelessly to promote the welfare of the ogre kingdom.
Dauroth is perhap the most famous of all oni, for he was the
originator of the ogre titan race. With his passing, it is likely
that the knowledge of the creation of the titans will pass with
him.
