Half Orcs

[Lizard]

Does anyone know if there is any news about what the official 4e Half Orc is going to look like?

Yes, wussified into a full race, so we don't have to deal with that ugly backstory.

The Half-Orc is a race I've always wished would just go away. I've never liked it from a flavor standpoint and never felt it added anything positive to the game as a PC race. They make good enough bad guys I suppose, I just always have hated them from a PC standpoint. I just don't understand the love for them outside of physical stat bumps.

You get to play the Misunderstood Outsider without having to be some poncy emo Tiefling who calls himself "Darkshadow Moonchild" and writes bad poetry about how nobody loves him.

You can do comical moron, ala Thog, or Tragic Monster, or whatever.
