Giant Build. The ogrekin counts as one size larger when determining carrying capacity and the weight it can push, drag, or lift. Its melee and thrown weapons deal an extra die of damage on a hit (included below).
ACTIONS
Battleaxe. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 12 (2d8 + 3) slashing damage.
Handaxe. Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft. or range 20/60 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (2d6 + 3) slashing damage.
Combat
Ogrekin take advantage of their terrain and suit their strategy to their opponents. They throw handaxes at well-armored and slow opponents, and they charge spellcasters and lightly-armored foes. They can often be provoked into single combat. They flee when half their number have fallen.

Legends and Lore
With a Culture or History check, characters can learn the following:
DC 10 Though smaller than their giant ancestors, ogres stand nearly twice as tall as most humanoids. They can see in the dark.
DC 15 Ogres are formidable melee combatants. Their powerful blows force all but the strongest warriors to give ground.
DC 20 In ages past, some ogres learned magic to better serve their giant overlords. Though rare, ogre mages still exist today, selling their services to evil creatures such as devils, vampires, and hags.
In the wild mountains live clans of towering warriors called ogrekin. They resemble 8-foot-tall, well-muscled humans or orcs, although they reject the idea they are merely humanoid in lineage. Ogrekin claim ogre blood and sometimes call themselves “half-ogres.” Their prodigious strength and mountainous proportions suggest they may be right.
Ogrekin statistics can also be used to represent juvenile or noncombatant ogres, or children of an ogre and a humanoid parent.

Humanoids include a number of different intelligent, language-using bipeds of Small or Medium size. Humans and elves are humanoids, and so are orcs and goblins. Humanoids may employ magic but are not fundamentally magical—a characteristic that distinguishes them from bipedal, language-using fey, fiends, and other monsters. Humanoids have no inherent alignment, meaning that no humanoid ancestry is naturally good or evil, lawful or chaotic.
