Ogre Cleric of Magic and Chaos CR 6

[Core Rules Only]

Appearance: They appear like ornate giant statues of coarsely beaten black steel, heavy crusted with dried blood. Calligraphy in Giant cover the armor, cursing those who would oppose at the same time proclaim its wearer’s glorious deeds of malevolence. In one arm, it carries a towering Black Pike 15ft long tipped with wicked barbs and flying its black banner. When its gaze falls upon you, it draws a the flayed skin of a humanoid with painted symbols and vanishes.

Tactics

• On the Ogre’s action, declare Power attack – 6 even if not attacking.

• When making an Attack of Opportunity, you can declare Reckless Offense since it is an attack action.

• Against opponents with poorer reach, use ready action against charge.

• Retreat with invisibility (then cast desecrate and raise up to 20hd undead)

Ready action for a Charge (20ft reach! Huge threat area). (Best while invisible) (Bless, haste, Prayer @ give a +1 to hit).
