With the racial bonus to crit damage as well as the ability to keep on keeping on(drop to 1 hit point instead of falling unconscious once per long rest).Both of those abilities have been front and center in our games as game changers during rough battles. At first it was just considered the best race for being a barbarian but since then we have had half orc clerics,fighters,paladins and wizards.Slowly, it's turning into a all half-orc party.Now partly I'm willing to believe it's just my half crazed group. These guys are nuts! When I look at the races though the half orc does stand out as being the best at melee combat! This is a small issue and not that big a deal. In fact simply roll playing racial bias against the half-orc would probably go a long ways towards curbing this tendency. I noted that for instance our half-orc paladin's (played by my daughter in law) was a beautiful picture of a super model and asked I was told, she is a half-orc but you can't tell she isn't human. I replied "You mean other than the green tinge to her skin,tusk stubs jutting out of the sides of her mouth and the Klingon like skull ridges? That got a reaction let me tell you! What are you guys seeing at your tables?</blockquote>
