Does the orc gets the advantage of any favorite class... ? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />You can give a half-orc more advantages of one race of his parents but you do not justify this with their education. A correct cause is this half-orc has not only 50% of the genes of one of his parents, he has 51 or more % of this race. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I like some of your ideas (toughness, Survival, etc.) but I dislike dropping the Cha penalty.Orcs and Half-orcs are not known for their diplomacy and their magic.A half-orc with Cha 18, raised by humans <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />, thinking of a bard or a rogue with many ranks in diplomacy or a sorcerer is not a character I want in one of my groups. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
