The temporary hit points increase to 10 at 11th level and to 15 at 21st level. Swift Charge: You gain a +2 bonus to speed when charging. Furious Assault: You have the furious assault power. Encounter Free Action * Personal Trigger: You hit an enemy Effect: The attack deals 1[W] extra damage if it’s a weapon attack or 1d8 extra damage if it isn’t. The 4e D&D MM gives Orcs the following abilities, in its Appendix:Ability Scores: +2 Strength, +2 Constitution Languages: Common, Giant Vision: Low-light Running Charge: When you charge, add 2 to your speed. Warrior’s Surge: You can use warrior’s surge as an encounter power. Encounter * Healing, Weapon Standard Action * Melee weapon Attack: Strength vs. AC Hit: 1[W] + Strength modifier damage, and you can spend a healing surge. Increase to 2[W] + Strength modifier damage at 21st level. These are not significantly different mechanics. They have the same vision, the same languages, and the same bonus to charge speed. They both have a hp-oriented 1x/encounter ability. Half-Orcs also get a bonus damage die 1x/enc, and get a bonus to DEX rather than CON.I can't comment on 5e D&D, but your claims about 4e are in my view very exaggerated.</blockquote>
