And I won three fights ‘fore light was even seen
And I don’t know nothing but drinkin’ and fightin’
And I like…bein’ green
Orcish children’s song
Legend claims that the first time an Orc and a Human struck swords together, the first Orc-Kin leapt out from the impact, took the swords and killed those who wielded them. Orc-Kin tend to like this story a lot. Historians tend not to.
As a race, Orc-Kin have a reputation as being rowdy, aggressive, and temperamental. They are renowned for their prowess with weapons but seldom trusted with more scholarly pursuits. The stereotype of Orc-Kin as unruly warriors is untrue of many, as some are crafty scouts or thieves, and others occupy the more mundane roles of shopkeepers and craftsmen. Though what Orc-Kin call civilized is usually far less quiet than other races ideas of the same. Orc-Kin are members of clans in all three realms and tend to come from poorer families.
Even the shopkeepers and stealthy possess the same violent Orcish temper as the most fierce of warriors. An injured Orc-Kin lashes out in a terrible frenzy, cutting down enemies until there are none left or until falling themselves. Those who attempt to interfere with or halt an Orc-Kin’s rage sometimes become the victims of it.
Orc-Kin have a natural affinity for weapons and fighting styles and learn them easily. They are also known for being physically tougher than some other races.+1 Body Point per level
