I had a homebrew pathfinder campaign recently wherein Ogres are surprisingly reasonable and honorable.
So basically I was an Urog (Ogre/Orc) fighter named Berrick, rah rah hated by the town 'cos I was a rapebaby or something.
Ergo Berrick the Bastard
Ends up coming to 'coming of age' thingo, which is an elimination series of arena fights.
Queue me realizing I'm a half-ogre about to be going toe-to-toe with a bunch of full-ogres, and proceeding to be the most conniving, underhanded, sneaky ass douche.
I got about 80% of the 'takedowns' when I snuck up behind people and whonked them with my sword.
Artek, the "biggest one"- my chief rival, I managed to take out by stealth in 6 of the 8 rounds, with two of those being me climbing up onto arena architecture and waiting for his dumb ass to walk underneath.
This being said, only at about round 4 did we realize that I wasn't applying the Strengthx1.5 for Two-handed weapons, which unfortunately sent my damage from "One-to-two-Hit KO" to "One-Hit KO-to-Kill" and so proceeds me severely wounding two different ogres (including big bad), cutting the throat out of another and bisecting a fourth.
So then I was Berrick the Butcher.
The thing finally ended with them filling the arena up with water for a 1v1 vs my 'nemesis', which removed most of the stealth. Everything which was terrain I could've hidden behind was now the ground beneath my feet.
So naturally I just swam underwater all the way over to the other side of the arena (Urog gets +4 constitution), and then proceeded to pop up behind him, disarm him, drown him half to death and then knock him unconscious with the haft of the axe.
At which point I've gotta make the choice of letting him drown or saving his ungrateful ass.
It was a very difficult choice. Even after saving him ('cos the campaign was gonna apparently be 'mostly good'), I was still like 'Can I just behead him?'.
So now I'm Berrick the Benevolent, and I hate it.
Doesn't make sense for me to be universally hated growing up, use nothing but underhanded and douchey tactics to win, and then be like 'Surprise! I'm all compassionate!'.
