I know for certain that they would at least make excellent barbarians and rogues. Which is great because rogue looks most appealing to me. Problem is that I feel like they're too pinned into that. My fighter comment was referring more to the fighter class. I have always loved half-orcs, and am surprised to find myself loving them more after the switch to 4th edition rules/lore. But it seems weird that they're outclassed by humans fairly handily at the 'standard' melee class from what I've seen; or at least it being a toss-up between the two seems a little strange. And they aren't very good Wardens either, because the Warden's builds are specifically to avoid dumping points in DEX.And I do like the overall style, and wished in 3.x that people would be a little more heroic, but like.. the classes with wings seem a little over the top. Overall, I want all the people to feel like they're heroes. But I want them to also feel like they're lesser heroes, etc.The friends I've run with have always enjoyed my campaigns, but I also want to make sure I adjust to any changes I need to (though I hope I can find somebody else willing to DM this time, just because I'd like to be a player once in awhile). I was mucking around with character creation earlier, and noticed just how much harder it is for me to make a decision than it was in 3e. In a way, that probably is a good thing too. I can't say too much until I actually try it. But I will say I have faith in 4e so far, I just am uncomfortable about a few things. But it's natural when moving on to a new system.</blockquote>
