[QUOTE="Tormyr, post: 6482717, member: 6776887"] While I realize the question was specifically asked to someone, the answer is: whatever you want to do outside of combat. Half-orcs have just as much role play potential as an elf. They can run the spectrum between their orc side and their other side. A barbarian can be just as skilled with the skilled feat. The half-orc barbarian can be the Hulk, the grizzled mercenary, the fish out of water, or the cultured savage. Every barbarian has its nonviolent side. The Hulk has Banner. The cultured savage has the arts or politics. The grizzled mercenary tires of war but draws on the rage from loss of a hundred friends and comrades over the years. The fish out of water is constantly try to fit in and suppress its rage. A half orc barbarian would also be awesome (for laughs) for what is coming up next in your campaign if your DM is following the script. :) The key part that answers what happens out of combat is your character's background. So I guess my questions would include what is important for your character to do out of combat and what skills are important to you? [/QUOTE]
