Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rystil Arden" data-source="post: 2068004" data-attributes="member: 29014">Actually, I think orcs aren't really so underpowered because they get +4 Strength for -2 to all mental stats, and are still only ECL 1/2 like half-orcs.  The half-orcs have it much worse.The thing is, it says in the other thread that they *are* weak spellcasters, but I understand and respect your point, as I was somewhat leery of the idea myself at first.  Coincidentally, if you allow the orc-blooded to take the Spellcasting Prodigy feat to recover from this, then a half-orc or orc under my definition who took this feat would become identical to one who took your Scion of the Orc-Blooded Pillars feat, which I think is interesting, and shows that in some sense, we are on the same wavlength about where the races should be, after a single corrective feat (also if you do this, it means less orc-blooded will be forced to spend their precious 1st-level feat to correct their racial problems, only the spellcasters will, leaving room for other cool feats like your Noble of the Six Pillars [which is probably balanced with the powerful Cosmopolitan 3.0, since it adds two skills to your class instead of one, but they are from a limited list; nonetheless, I'm tempted to limit this ability to maybe one of the six pillars, see below]).  I'm also thinking of making a Scion of House X feat for each house (perhaps Scion of House Malarn would let their members, regardless of race since Malarn is diverse, would gain the humanlike benefit of 1 additional skill point per level at each level to represent Malarn's diversity).</blockquote>
