This came up in a discussion with my players... nobody has ever seen a female half-ogre PC. I think this is because, while it's okay for a guy to be big and ugly (in fact, in some ways for guys ugly can equal sexy), women prefer to imagine being attractive.
But thinking about it, I'm not certain it's impossible to imagine a sexy half-ogre woman. So here's the challenge... show me one. In fact, let's leave this challenge open indefinitely, and see how many we can get.
I'm not looking for cheesecake here. Practical armor and adventuring gear, if she's ready to hit the dungeon; reasonable clothing if she's hanging out in the tavern (waiting to meet an adventuring party, for example). Not against a low-cut shirt, but do not want to see a chainmail bikini. She should be obviously a half-ogre, tall and lanky, pointed ears, whatever.
Show me something cool. Wow me.

I love it! Back in my 1e AD&D days I had an Amazon Half-Ogre tribe of female Half-Ogres who originally came together as a sort of support group and ended up staking a claim to a nice big chunk of barrens and driving out the Ogres living there and setting up shop (they were slightly anti-human, but VERY anti-Ogre

Okay, so Mildred isn't a half orc, she's definitely an orc... and I think I want her in the Core Rules somewhere.
the orc entry in the monsters section seems an obvious suggestion?
