Half-Orc
In the past, orc and human tribes formed alliances which were sealed by marriages and from these unions half-orcs are born. Some half-orcs rose to become proud chiefs of orc tribes, their human blood giving them an edge over their full-blooded orc rivals. Some ventured into the world to prove their worth among humans and other races. Many of these became adventurers, achieving greatness for their mighty deeds and notoriety for their savage fury. Now in a more peaceful time, half-orc are still as common, although more likely to have been born from love as opposed to political marriage.
Half-orcs’ grayish pigmentation, sloping foreheads, jutting jaws, prominent teeth, and towering builds make their orcish heritage plain for all to see. Half-orcs stand between 5 and 7 feet tall and usually weigh between 180 and 250 pounds.
Orcs regard battle scars as tokens of pride and ornamental scars as things of beauty. Other scars, though, mark an orc or half-orc as a former slave or a disgraced exile. Any half-orc who has lived among or near orcs has scars, whether they are marks of humiliation or of pride, recounting their past exploits and injuries. Such a half-orc living among humans might display these scars proudly or hide them in shame.
