Tar'orc's are a recent emergence from the underdark.
Resembleing the common orc, the Tar'orc is taller, often standing 6'6'' high, and has very dark brown almost black skin. Their eyes are usually dark red. The Tar'orc is easily recognized by the tiny scales that cover most of the creatures body, if it wasn't for the large black platemails they favor.
Tar'orc's live longer than other orc races, and age at the same rate as humans, although very few live to reach the venerable age. (often being killed before that age.)
Combat:
The Tar'orc is a highly militaristic creature, and is well versed in the use of advanced tactics, all Tar'orc's from the same clan or faction fight as an efficient and well-oiled machine, using their skills to outflank and outmanouver their opponents.
Skills: Tar'orcs get a +4 racial bonus on bluff and intimidate checks.
Feats: Tar'orcs get Alertness as a bonus feat.
Tar'orc Society:
Having been created and breed by a powerfull undead sorcerer has given the Tar'orc a somewhat unique perspective on things compared to other orcs. They're highly militaristic, putting great importance in the use of titles, be they military or civilian. Also they know the value of breeding strong and powerfull indeviduals, thus every Tar'orc must prove his or her right to breed by often lethal methods, including raids, monster hunting, and all out warfare on other races. Only a Tar'orc that has seen and survived lethal combat, be it magical or mundane, are allowed to breed, which of course leads to slower breeding than other orc races.
Tar'orc Characters:
A tar'orcs favored class is Fighter, and most tar'orc leaders are fighters, although a tar'orc settlement is inevitable lead by a warlock (a death cleric). Tar'orc cleric's favor nerull or other deities of death, and as such usually have access to two of the following domains: Death, Evil, and Trickery.
A Tar'orc PC is more powerful than other characters and as such has an ECL of +3
