[QUOTE="DM-Rocco, post: 3644846, member: 14451"] Orcs are a staple of D&D. In my current world, evil flourishes and a good many evil races run most of the cities. Orcs have a strong presence and rule many of the cities and towns with an iron fist. I always get tired of seeing towns with 90% human, 5% halfling, 2% elf 3% other. The current world has many cities with at least 80% orc or higher. It is a lot of fun because it puts the character off guard and makes then jumpy. Not too long ago there was an adventure in Dungeon that was very excellent. I can't recall the issue since I am at work, but the adventure dealt with the PCs having to go to a burial mound infested with Orcs. Not just your typical MM orcs, all of these orcs had characters levels and it drove the party nuts when the wizard cast a fireball expecting to kill a large cluster of them. Little did the wizard know that not only did they have enough hit dice and hit points to survive the attack, but they had evasion from rogue levels too. It is all in how you present it. [/QUOTE]
