Special Powers:

• Ogre magi are large creatures and can carry 50% more than a human of similar strength.
• An ogre magi’s tough hide grants him +6 to his natural AC. As with all creatures with natural armor, this is superseded by (does not stack with) actual worn armor. Armor that grants an armor bonus of +6 or less grants a +1 bonus to the ogre magi’s AC (this does stack).
• Ogre magi receive a +1 bonus to their morale scores, including Fear saves.
• Ogre magi develop special abilities as they gain levels:
  • 1st: Gaseous Form 1/day (as the potion).
  • 1st: Fly at a base speed of 15 (maneuverability class B) for 12 turns per day (broken up into 1 turn increments).
  • 2nd: Invisibility (as the spell) at will.
  • 2nd: Charm Person (as the spell) 1/day.
  • 3rd: Sleep (as the spell) 1/day.
  • 3rd: Regenerate 1hp per round (lost members must be reattached to regenerate).
  • 4th: Darkness 15-ft. radius (as the spell) at will.

• Because of their magical nature and familiarity with many ancient arts, the Kar-Thursu have some resistance to magical effects. They gain 4% magic resistance per level (16%). This resistance applies to beneficial magic as well, but not to their innate spell-like abilities.
• The various tribes of orcs, goblins, and ogres in Thar have great respect for the Kur-Tharsu, and dream of conquest as only these great ones can bring. Kur-Tharsu can use the Raise Army proficiency starting at 7th level (instead of 10th). The Kur-Tharsu can substitute humanoid monsters of the appropriate hit dice (typically ogres, orogs, trolls, or giants) for higher-level members of the horde, if he so desires.

• The noble has a family, clan, or estate to support her. If she wishes, the noble can live with her relations indefinitely, enjoying a life of ease and luxury. When not living on her family’s estates, the noble can choose to accept a stipend of 10gp per level (40gp) each month from her family, though a noble living off her family’s fortune will find that her family expects her full loyalty.
• The noble receives a +3 bonus on NPC reactions from anyone of her own culture, and a +2 bonus against nobles of other cultures. When travelling, she can demand shelter from anyone in her own nation who is of lower social status than she. Likewise, most people of her own status or higher (regardless of homeland) will offer her shelter as well—plus shelter for up to two additional persons per level.
• In her own land, the noble can administer low justice upon commoners—acting as judge, jury, and executioner for minor crimes she comes across (subject to the laws of her homeland).

---

Penalties:

• Ogre magi take damage as Large creatures.
• Ogre magi must earn twice the normal number of experience points to advance each level (i.e. a 5th level Wizard requires 40,000xp instead of the usual 20,000xp).

• If possible, the Kur-Tharsu are even more terrifying than other ogres. They suffer a -2 penalty to their starting Appearance scores. (included above)
• Humans and demihumans living in the north fear few things more than the resurgence of the ogre kingdoms. Any bonuses that a human or demihuman character possesses that specifically target ogres (such as a dwarf’s AC bonus or a ranger’s favored enemy) are increased by 50% when battling Kur-Tharsu.

• A wizard wearing metal armor has their effective casting level decreased by one-half the AC bonus granted by the armor (thus a wizard in Scale Mail would cast spells as if he were 2 levels lower), to a minimum caster level of 1st.

• Required Weapon Proficiencies: Horseman’s Mace or Flail, Sword (any one-handed), Lance (any one), Dagger. Must spend weapon proficiency slots to learn each of these before learning any other weapon.
• After character creation, the noble must spend an additional +10% per level (40%) on ALL goods, services, and equipment she buys. This extra cost is not a tip, the character is buying higher quality goods to reflect her noble tastes and requirements.
  If the noble is unable to spend this extra money because of lack of funds, she may settle for lesser goods, but her bonus on reactions will be reduced, at -1 per such incident (to a minimum of a -3 penalty), as she develops a reputation as a miser, penny-pincher, and shabby dresser. If enough of her equipment is shabby, common-quality goods, people may not believe that she is a noble and may refuse her shelter or other benefits of the kit (DMs discretion).
  • She can only regain his former bonus through conspicuous consumption—buying a new set of clothes and new equipment for herself and all of her retainers (with the necessary mark up) and throwing a large banquette or similar gathering (at a cost of 1000gp per level).
• Just as other nobles are expected to extend shelter to the Noble PC, she is expected to offer shelter to other nobles when they are travelling through her territory or when they meet on the road while she is encamped and they are not.
• If the noble is living off her family and using their estate, her relations are glad to have her around and will often ask her for favors or support. At least once per week, the character will have to fulfill some family obligation; she may have to use her skills as an adventurer against the house’s enemies, she may be asked to spy on a rival house, she may be asked to serve as the house’s representative in a legal court, or she may even be subject to an arranged political marriage.
• While the noble is able to administer justice, her decisions can always be overruled by a noble of greater status (in some nations her decisions may also be subject to review by an official court system).
