[QUOTE="LuisCarlos17f, post: 8686995, member: 6802378"] Saying half-orcs aren't necessary because there are more popular options is like saying Avengers don't need Hulk, or Justice League doesn't need Green Arrow, X-Men doesn't need Polaris, Vampire: the Masquerade has got enough number of bloodlines, Transfomers has got enough characters, or Fortnite has got enough skins. Always there is space for one more when the idea is good. When you find the right way to sell an idea somebody will be willing to buy it. An orc shaman could be interesting because for the eyes of the rest of the tribe the spellcaster orc would be the equivalent to a nerd, suffering more bulling and reject than the ordinary wizards, or the warlocks. Sometimes I thought about the idea of a funny love-hate relation, with a piece of unresoluted sexual tension and echi comedy, between a metrosexual male half-elf ranger and a tomboy half-orc shaman.

I guess there is a traslation to English. [/QUOTE]
