| HALF ORC |
Half-orcs are the children of orcs and humans. Most often they are the result
of rapes that occurred between orcs and humans. Orcs are not capable of
breeding with the other races, and so there are no other hybrids. Half orcs
are generally despised by humans society and seen as unwelcome outcasts.
Orcs too often view half orcs as weak and inferior. Their rough and
demanding lives make half orcs that survive to maturity very tough and
determined. Half orcs often have a fatalistic view of life and expect death to
literally be around the corner. This fatalistic view often causes them to live for
the moment and fight with even greater intensity. Half orcs do have one thing
that makes them desirable as comrades; they have an intense loyalty to those
who would treat them with respect. Half-orcs are not liked by many of the
races but are fairly common where orcs and humans dwell in nearby
communities or kingdoms. In spite of the challenges they face half orcs are
able to survive and prosper as mercenaries, body guards and as
intermediaries between orc and human communities. Greater Orcs do not
breed with lesser races and are something of an oddity in society that thrives
on violence and destruction. Sages have never heard or encountered
children of greater orc heritage. Half orcs combine the best features of their
parents with less of the limitations. Half orcs live about 70 years.
l. Half orcs see in the dark with infra-vision at 75 feet. This vision allows them
to see heat signatures of living beings and geo-thermal signatures from other
heat sources. They cannot read or see fine details with this sight, but it allows
+15% to tracking any being with a heat signature.
2. Half orc kindred are immune to most diseases (3 X EN to resist) and can
resist natural poisons by rolling under 3 X EN.
3. Half orcs may choose one sub-skill that cost 1000 exp or less.
4. Half orcs may opt to begin with 1 rank in assassin, berserker or fist of
retribution.
5. Half orc kindred may use one weapon at ½ the required exp. cost, but gain
a 5% bonus to strike and +1 to damage when using their fist, rock or one
handed hafted weapons.
6. Half orcs make two rolls on the bogey table.
Half orcs:

Half hobgoblins:
