Orc Parentage

Orcs have green or gray skin, dark hair, flat noses, long faces, and teeth or tusks that protrude from their lips. Orcs usually stand over 6 feet tall and weigh between 230 and 280 pounds. Their large frames grant them the ability to lift heavy loads relative to what humans can carry.
Orcs are adapted to live in many of the same places where humans dwell—places where water is plentiful, game is abundant, and the weather is calm or predictable.
Due to their ability to see in the dark, orcs often live in unlit places like the Underdark. Those who dwell on the surface are usually nocturnal, sleeping all day and hunting or working at night. Because of this, orcs can live near Humanoids with the latter seldom seeing their orc neighbors.
Misinformation abounds about orcs and their offspring. According to some accounts, all orcs worship the one-eyed god Gruumsh and are prone to violent urges. Indeed, some even believe that orcs are universally evil.
But because orcs are sentient Humanoids, they make their own decisions. Some spurn Gruumsh and his allies while others interpret his whispers in different ways.

Orc Traits

You have a pool of 16 points to spend between your two birth parents. If either or both of your birth parents are orcs, choose from the following.

Darkvision (4 Points)

  • You can see in dim light within 60 feet of you as if it were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can’t discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.

Powerful Build (1 Point)

  • You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift.

Relentless Endurance (6 Points)

  • When you are reduced to 0 hit points but not killed outright, you can drop to 1 hit point instead. You can’t use this feature again until you finish a long rest.
    If you already have the Relentless Endurance trait inherited from your other birth parent, immediately after using this trait, you can use your reaction to take one action.
