[QUOTE="Jehosephat, post: 1918955, member: 14128"] Thanks for the replys everyone. Based on what you have said how does this encounter with an orc sound? A piggish neanderthal looking brute stands before you, staring with beady brown eyes. His greenish-gray skin is covered with bristly hair. Protruding from his underslung jaw are two boar-like tusks. Then perhaps, I can have the orc grunt out something in Orcish. If a player understands that language then allow him to conclude that this may indeed be an orc, or as MerricB suggested allow a knowledge skill check. An orc is 1d8+1. So say the player rolls a 15, then perhaps I could tell them that from all indicators this creature indeed could be an orc. Then perhaps tell the player he remembers a tale that his grandfather once told of a group of orcs that were frightened off by a wizards light spell. Again how would that be for setting up a PCs first "official" encounter with an orc? [/QUOTE]
