[QUOTE="Pyske, post: 224692, member: 3567"] If you'e adamant against the idea, I can totally understand. However, if you're looking for some way to be flexible, how about this: Run a one-shot for the PC as a half-orc. Since he's half-orc, and speaks their language, the tribe has made him responsible for interrogating the humans. (This also explains why he knows a bit about their culture.) The adventure revolves around the PC discovering something he shouldn't, either from a prisoner, or by stumbling on a meeting he shouldn't see. (Perhaps he only gets hints of what's happening before their guards capture him.) He is killed and his body concealed in the wild. Unfortunately for the orcs, he was one of the orc nature god's favorites. He sends one of his followers to reincarnate the orc. The orc god of cruel trickery decides that this is too much fun to end so quickly, so he... tampers... with the reincarnation spell. The orc is reincarnated as one of the hated humans, in the middle of the humans kingdom. The PC knows what would happen if the humans find out his true nature. He also needs revenge against his tribesmen, and who better to give it to him than these humans... . . . . . . . -- Eric PS -- This works especially well if the orcs don't realize the repercussions of what they are awakening, and the PC has enough wisdom to realize what a bad idea it really is. EDIT: Wait, is he also trying to break the alignment restriction? Barbarians must be chaotic, druids must be neutral... does he want a CN character? [/QUOTE]
