Half-Orc



Neither Orc nor Human, Half orcs combine what is arguably the best of both races. With the power and tenacity of their orc parentage, and the speed, and adaptability of their human, half-orcs are well suited to a wide range of tasks. However they never truly fit in. Humans seem them as the offspring of violent assaults, and orcs often disdain them for being weaker. Thus Half-orcs tend to be something of outcasts. They stand just slighter taller and broader than humans with skin that ranges from various tan flesh tones, grays, or even slightly green tinted. Their hair is almost always as dark as their orc parents and they display the tell tale tusks though often a bit smaller.

If there is one major strength of Half-orcs it is their mixed blood gives them perhaps the greatest ability to survive. Useful when no one really wants you around. Fierce, cunning, and adaptable.

Half-orcs have the following racial abilities
 * Good strength from their orc parents and only minor drawbacks to their mental abilities thanks to their human parentage (lower int, cha)
 * Darkvision: a Half-Orc has darkvision out to 60 feet
 * Orc blood: For all effects related to race, a half-orc is considered an orc.
 * Favored Class: Barbarian
