"Born and bred to blood and battle..."
They are the orphans of savage wars, drifting back into the territories of yet-unconquered people, a reminder of the constant struggle against the forces of chaos. Shunned by humanity, half-orcs have learned to survive on their own, through savage barbarism: What is not freely given must be taken by force. The half-orc does not seek pity nor compassion, but fear and respect.
Each HEROES OF HIGH FAVOR book contains a toolkit of additional feats, skills, concepts, and prestige classes to explore your race's favored class.HALF-ORCS features background information and role-playing tips for ten unique half-orc prestige classes, as well as new feats and new uses for old skills specific to barbarians. New Craftsmanship rules detail savage weapons and armor as well as quick-and-dirty "shoddy craftsmanship," so you can arm your horde in a hurry. New Handle Animal rules allow comprehensive (yet simple) cross-breeding of fantastic guardian beasts, and you'll find additional uses for your Intimidate and Wilderness Lore skills as well. HEROES OF HIGH FAVOR: HALF-ORCS is the definitive sourcebook for half-orc characters of every kind. What the critics say about Bad Axe Games: ...I’m rather taken by their fresh style and I’ll be keeping an eye out for future publications from them… --GameWyrd ..a delightful little book ...The editing is quite good, hardly a typo to be seen. - GameingReport
