Ogres have a racial skill which allows them to use a 2-handed weapon in their main hand while using an off-hand item, but under significant penalties, and at a cost of 5 generic points. The benefits often fail to be worth the investment, but it does enable some creative alternative builds. Many skills in ToME can't be used unless the character has a specific item or items equipped. Ogres can use these skills in unexpected ways, and in some cases combine skills that could not normally be combined.

Ogre is a race introduced in the base game. It must be unlocked by defeating Healer Astelrid in the Old Conclave Vault. (See the Unlock part of this page for further details.)

Locked Description

Forged in the hatred of ages long passed, made for a war that they've come to outlast.

Their forgotten birthplace lies deep underground, its tunnels ruined so it wouldn't be found.

Past burglars have failed, but their data's immortal; to start, look where halflings once tinkered with portals...

Description

Ogres are an altered form of Human, created in the Age of Allure as workers and warriors for the Conclave.

Inscriptions have granted them magical and physical power far beyond their natural limits, but their dependence on runic magic made them a favored target during the Spellhunt, forcing them to take refuge among the Shalore.

Their preference for simple and direct solutions has given them an undeserved reputation as dumb brutes, despite their extraordinary talent with runes and their humble, dutiful nature.

They possess the Ogric Wrath talent, which grants them resistance to pinning and stuns, as well as critical chance and power when their attacks miss or are blocked.

New Race Unlocked Description

Ogres are magically-altered Humans, taking refuge in Elvala among the Shalore.

Their enormous bodies, bolstered by (and dependent on) an intricate web of glowing runes covering their skin, make them an intimidating sight that belies their conscientious and modest nature.

Ogres were created (and subsequently abandoned) by the Conclave during the Allure Wars, to serve as their warriors and workers.

Their massive size and glowing runes made it impossible for them to hide during the Spellhunt, and only those who fled to Shalore lands survived extermination.

Their talent with inscriptions is unparalleled, as they need to be able to maintain their own inscriptions to survive, and have passed down the knowledge of how to do so;

While their tendency to solve problems in the most simple and direct manner available (combined with an... intense temper) has given them an unfair reputation as unintelligent brutes, a growing trade industry in inscription production is gradually eroding this image.

You have learned the details of the Ogres' past and put their terrified creators to rest, and have technically brought the Allure Wars to their long-overdue conclusion by eliminating the last remnants of the Conclave.

You can now create new Ogre characters to see their magical might in action! Race features:

  • Strong but not stupid
  • Efficient at using all kind of runes and infusions
  • Imbued with arcane forces

Unlock

  • If the Old Conclave Vault has been chosen to appear in the game (randomly, or guaranteed if you are Shalore), Director Hompalan will spawn on the third floor of the Ruined Halfling Complex.
  • Once Director Hompalan is felled, he will drop a lore item that will reveal the location of the Old Conclave Vault on the world map to the south east.
  • In the Old Conclave Vault, Healer Astelrid must be defeated to obtain the lore item that will unlock the Ogre race.
