[QUOTE="Spatzimaus, post: 3177873, member: 3051"] IMC, we added a custom ECL 0 Half-Ogre, which meant that Half-Orcs shifted from being THE brute force race to being something more moderate. So, we gave them a few minor things: > First, Half-Orcs became the only race to have both Darkvision 60' AND Low-Light Vision x2. > Then, we allowed Half-Orcs with WIS of 13+ to take Limited Scent as a Feat (Limited Scent is like Scent, but at 1/3rd the range, +5 to any DCs, and you can't localize a target to a single square) > Finally, we switched their Favored Class to Ranger. The result is that Half-Orcs become the best trackers and wilderness types in the game. But frankly, we didn't feel they needed much in the first place; it's already a good race for someone who wants to play a WIS-based caster, and I never liked those limited "flavor" abilities like "+4 dodge bonus vs. giants".
