Commentary
Ogre twins are two identical ogres, only one of whom can inhabit the material plane at a time. Like conventional ogres, ogre twins can sense precious metals and magically harden their clubs. Ogre twins are indistinguishable from their single counterparts, unless a character can sense connections between a twin and the astral plane. If a character makes a successful Astral Sight (or Sense) Test against the ogre twin's Spell Defense, he can see a pair of faint, white lines trailing from the ogre twin's head and disappearing into astral space.

Ogre twins can switch places with a thought. Each twin's physical possessions remain on the material plane; the second twin'sbody appears in the same spot occupied by the first twin, in the same position, even in mid-action if the twins so desire. The displaced twin inhabits a small, dimensional pocket between the astral and material planes. The white lines magically connect the displaced twin with the thoughts of the material twin, and also provide the displaced twin with air.

Either twin can use his Spellcasting step to heal himself. Ogre twins usually heal in the dimensional pocket, switching places when the other twin needs healing. The injured twin spends one round in the dimensional pocket, and in that round makes a Spellcasting Test against his own Spell Defense. If the test is successful, the ogre then makes a RecoveryTest of Step 9, reducing his Current Damage by the RecoveryTest result.

If one of the ogres is killed, the other immediately appears on the physical plane to avenge its twin's death. Killing both twins in quick succession is the only way to defeat them.
