[QUOTE="fba827, post: 5345777, member: 807"] I don't know much about the Hammerfall setting that you mentioned -- but how are half-orcs defined in that setting? For instance, are they really cross-breeds of orc and human? Are they some other race that simply is called half-orc due to vague similairities in thuggish appearance even though no actual orcish relation? etc Having said that, could one of the trusted NPCs of the church vouch for you (works best if you are some sort of religious type character) and have been studying at that church for a while, just staying indoors and not going out much due to your heritage. Or maybe you were with the orcs and they discarded you and therefore you have insider knowledge about their activities that the party could find useful? (though this takes some DM input as to what this insider knowledge really is -- it should be something useful and accurate in order to prove your worth/value/trustworthiness). [/QUOTE]
