[QUOTE="Coroc, post: 7868607, member: 6895991"] You do not know my orcs in my greyhawk setting then. First they are build more than PCs stat wise than mobs. Second they operate as a well disciplined army in the service of Iuz. They are well armed and some are heavily armored. They use Pike formations and archers, sometimes mounted on manticores, Big mob numbers can be frightening in 5e. Their officers and generals are worthy solo encounters depending on party level. Another take on orcs which I consider very good especially for a humanocentric low magic campaign is to describe encountered orcs or goblinoids very vaguely by their fangs red glowing eyes, martial outfit, whatever. If the players never did encounter an orc before, you can make them frightening just by using the right description. Tieflings are not very common in my take on greyhawk but I allow them as PCs. But not those of Iuz Origins (Tanar'ri originated), but the other faction. Iuz operations are a thing also devils got an interest in, so they are occasionally scouting Oerth with all consequences, of course they usually cannot enter the prime at will but sometimes a summoning goes wrong or whatever.
