Note that it isn't that hard to come up with after-the-fact justifications for most exploits. You just have to be able to see them coming....In this case, consider that the character's orcish heritage is still present in his blood. He may try to transcend this (which is why half-orcs can be of any alignment), but it will always be with him. Even the purest, most lawful half-orc paladin has to struggle against his chaotic side, striving constantly to quell his desire to break into a violent rage. This spirit of fire is why the half-orc's favoured class is barbarian, regardless of the character's upbringing. It also means that if he takes up the monastic life, the measure of his strength is all the greater, because the challenges he faces and defeats are more than any mere human would have to contend with.There you go, instant handwave for why the guy shouldn't have the rules bent just for him. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
