Half Orc

Half orcs are the results of a breeding between humans and orcs.  These beings are much smarter than their Orc lineage and stronger than human stock. These differences alienates them from either culture.  In Orc lands, their superior intelligence gives them an advantage over their more savage relations.  Most Half Orcs that stay within orc lands become leaders of their clans or weapons for its rulers.  In human lands, Half Orcs have more freedom to choose a pathway but are still viewed as savage and unclean. 

Half Orcs have no society of their own.  They are outcasts in whatever society they choose to live in.  Half Orcs often make their living on the fringe of society, often as Barbarians, Rangers, or Fighters.  Half Orcs prefer to breed with others of their kind.  No matter what a Half Orc breeds with, the resulting offspring is always a half orc.
