[QUOTE="smootrk, post: 2829399, member: 28583"] I think your main difference between the 3.x versions of Goblins/Hobgoblins and orcs are that the Goblin races are Lawful, while the current incarnation of Orcs are Chaotic (not so in the past; they originally were LawfulEvil). The Hobgoblins, while just as evil, tend to organize into military units, regiments, and the like. There was a Hobgoblin article in a relatively recent Dragon magazine that may fill in the blanks for their culture. Orcs on the other hand, tend to organize themselves into tribes & hordes... a more barbarian focused culture. I tend to think of Orcs as a separate race from the goblinoids, like dwarves are to gnomes. They may be distantly related but the differences are substantial and they do not generally mix their cultures any more. As to your take, I see nothing wrong with your spin on them, but I would have it differently. [/QUOTE]
