Any reason outside of Roleplaying that someone would pick Half Orc over Human?

[JoeBlank]

Playing a half-orc barbarian/rogue/fighter, probably headed towards Tactical Soldier (from CW). I certainly like the STR bonus and darkvision, and with the barbarian and rogue skill points and the fighter feats I hardly miss the human perks.

But I must admit if I were going to min/max then I would take human over half-orc. I just finished playing a gnome sorcerer with a STR 6 and CHA 16 (with Spellcasting Prodigy feat), and couldn't resist playing the polar opposite STR 18 and CHA 6 half-orc.

If you're using a 25 Pointbuy
you can have
Str 18 Dex 10 Co 14 Int 11 Wis 8 Cha 8 Half orc
or
Str 18 Dex 10 Co 14 Int 9 Wis 8 Cha 8 Human

Go half orcs ! they're smarter than humans

Yupp, that reminded me of some point buy pecularities with the halfogre...

That's D&D half-orcs, silly.

Duh.

I'm sorry, but I don't get the point you think you're making
