[QUOTE="TheLordWinter, post: 4676799, member: 63181"] Personally I am not a big fan of Half-Orcs by and large, and will simply convert them to "Orcs" in my home campaign setting. This does away with the inherent problem that "Half-Orcs tend to have a messy implied backstory," quite nicely for my tastes. Further, someone later mentioned that if an Orc walks into town everyone will leap to attack it. This isn't necessarily true if you make them common enough creatures in your campaign. Orcs who have chosen to leave their tribal structures behind can be every bit the outcast that a half-orc could be. Also, for those mentioning Half-Orc bards, may I present you with a little picture I like to call "The God of Rock:" [IMG]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v714/KeeperOfMadness/RockandRoll.jpg[/IMG] Please note that his "lute" features neither strings nor any means of making sound save the percussion of beating someone with it. Which he looks prepared to do. [/QUOTE]
