[QUOTE="Mephista, post: 8758802, member: 6786252"] Half-orcs started off as a work around to let people play an orc back when orcs were Always Evil. The traits have always been about bing orcish. The only part that came from the human/elf/etc half was Free Will. The 1dd orc is just the 5e half-orc without Brutal Crit. Which is a good thing - don't feel compelled to go barbarian anymore. I can't see anything to really add on here that would make the half-orc mechanically distinct from the 1dd orc. Half-elf? I'd just suggest remaking the Fey-touched feat and use that as my bonus feat frim being a human. Alternatively, start elf and, instead of getting spells, get Resourceful and a free skill. [/QUOTE]
