FR: Give Og positive LB apt

Why? Well, LB damage is tied to EV, and, as a large species, Ogre have less of it. Giving them a better aptitude would incentivise use of a weapon they would otherwise never use. (Also, I have easier time imagining an ogre with a sword than with a polearm, but that part is irrelevant.)

I appreciate the intent, but the correlation between long blades damage and EV is really weak.

Can't you just imagine an OGRE holding a SPEAR? All glory to the glorious SPEAR-OGRE!

Ogre dragoon, the dream. Every day I'll look at the montain top, and when the mountain jackdaws gather there for the first time in centuries, I'll know the day has finally come...
