Dark Legacy :: manual races Half-Orc

Half-Orc
A mixed breed between humans and orcs.
Many horrific wars and raiding allowed the brutal ways of the Orcs to give rise
to the involuntary mingling of Orcish and Human blood. Most members of this
half-blooded race are distinctly more Orcish than Human in both appearance and
behavior. Half-orcs are notoriously short tempered and their status in society
doesn't make survival any easier for them. Half-Orcs are barely tolerated in
human settlements, and most are killed outright by other Orcs. Though not as
broad or powerful as full-blooded Orcs, Half-Orcs usually retain their wide
bodies, longer limbs and heavier musculature. They have most of the same facial
features, as well as the Orcish smelly body odor, and their presence disgusts
the civilized races.
