[QUOTE="QuietBrowser, post: 6941611, member: 6855057"] Whether the "half-orcs for full-orcs" or "homebrew a better orc" option is best depends on how well you think the current half-orc fits your vision of a "properly orcy orc". Half-orcs in 5e canon get +2 Str and +1 Con, Menacing (free proficiency in Intimidation), Relentless Endurance (can keep from being reduced to 0 HP once per long rest) and Savage Attack (+1 dice worth of damage on critical hits with melee weapons). The canonical 5e Orc is just the half-orc with -2 Int and swapping Relentless Endurance and Savage Attack for Aggressive (can use a bonus action to move full-speed to an enemy) and Powerful Build (+1 size larger for encumbrance, carrying, dragging, lifting). As many people have complained, the Powerful Build trait is so meaningless as to be essentially nothing but a flavor ability. So, do you think the Half-Orc "feels" enough like an orc to just reskin it? Or do you think a purebreed orc needs to be different? [/QUOTE]
