[QUOTE="Krishnath, post: 453961, member: 56"] [color=lightblue]The title says it all. Here is a new orc species for your enjoyment. I will post an additional orc subspecies next week.

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.) [b]Combat:[/b] 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.

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. [b]Tar'orc Characters:[/b] 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.
