 (*) For this reason some players like to make ogre mages and keep them at 11 intelligence - these level 27 lowmort characters are called "fade alts", and used to [[Fading|fade]] gear. Ogres make good candidates, but perhaps gargoyles are more effective, if more work to level due to higher TNL.

-Ogres get a 10% spell cost penalty for arcane and psionic spells, and have base costs for divine spells.
+Faster levelers than giants, with racial damage modifier, abundant hp pool and a high strength, ogres serve best in a brute-related class as hitters, and are often picked instead of giants for their ability to actually dodge some of the attacks thrown at them.
-Ogres are tied with [[Giants]] & [[Gargoyles]] for the second-best [[Racial Damage Modifier|racial damage modifier]] of any creatable race.
+Spellcasting is not their cup of tea, as ogres get a 10% spell cost penalty for arcane and psionic spells, and have base costs for divine spells. Naturally, they are not a no-fail race and will have small mana pools due to low intelligence, as well as difficulty casting spells at a reliable rate. (*)
