[QUOTE="DrunkonDuty, post: 3808560, member: 54364"] They're evil humanoid warrior types, internal fighting over who's the boss is pretty much mandatory. That's what happened in a campaign I was playing last year. It was much fun. My wanna-be orc warlord (think Nazi brownshirt with a fanatic reverence for the deceased Leader) competing with the female (women = 2nd class citizens in Orc land) shaman for control of the band. Of course there was an NPC chief but lets face it: we knew no NPC was gonna stand in the way once we made our moves. Most of our machinations went into trying to control the shaman's extremely power-gamed (read: liberal misinterpretation of the rules) half-ogre/half-orc son: a death dealing monster could take out critters 5CR above his supposed level but a mental midget who did whatever was the last thing he was told to do. And somewhere in all that we managed to do some truly heinous things. Many of them not PG rated so no details. But expect to be shocked once the pillaging begins. Especially if there's an evil witch who can brew potions from baby's blood. If you're going the horde invades scenario: a battle system of some type would be good. And some way to make the armies relevant is an idea. By which I mean: your average 12th level PC can take out an army so give the PC's other things to concentrate on, like high level NPCs or important missions that only they can complete. Or go for character designs that down play individual power for utility like leadership feat chain. [/QUOTE]
