Groarch Half-Ogre
Copyright (c) 1996 by Wim ten Brink <101471.2512@compuserve.com>

Groarch Half-Ogre is a male Half-Ogre in a TL3 setting. Basic stats for a
halfogre are (ST:16, DX:9, IQ:7, HT:12). I've modified this: ST-1, DX+3, IQ-1,
HT-1. Total cost: 45 (Race) + 0 (Attributes) = 45 CP.
Groarch is stupid since his IQ is reduced to 6! But I give him: 
+5 language talent, cost 10 CP
+5 musical ability, cost 5 CP
+5 Strong will, cost 20 CP
+2 Eiditic Memory (Photographic memory), cost 60 CP
Literacy, cost 10 points

Groarch will cost 150 CP now, so I give him about 40 CP worth of disadvantages
and 5 quirks. (Berserk, Greed and overconfidence.)

I also give Groarch the following skills:
Skill                   Lvl Cost Type
Running                   8  0.5 P/H

Groarch's background is simple. When he was young, he was raised by a human
doctor/physician. This man loved to travel and loved music. He taught Groarch
some of his skills and discovered that Groarch was a great student. His teacher
died and now Groarch wanders around on his own.

Questions:
Is this a legal character for a realistic fantasy campain?
Is this a legal character for a cinematic fantasy campain?
Do I have to pay extra CP for unusual background?

Why do I want to know this? I want to compare the opinion of different players
and gamemasters about stupid races with perfect memories and very big bonusses
on a few skills.
I'm interested as a game-master who wants to create a world where a several
characters of dumb races (Ogre, Half-Ogre, Minotaur ect.) have some high mental
skills (Like Physician, Strategy, Merchant, Teaching, ect) and it's a lot
cheaper to give them Eiditic memory than to raise their IQ and buy these skills
normally. (The rules normally accept these kind of characters.)
I'm interested as a player-character because I like the idea of using a dumb
Half-Ogre who has some mental skills better than anyone else, without losing (a
lot of) his fighting abilities.
