Homebrew Half-Orog Species Details

Orogs are the child of an orc and ogre, and a half-orog is the child of an orog and a human. Half-orogs are very much the intelligent cousins of half-orcs, with a similar appearance and formidable strength. Because of a natural ability to lead and their strong sense of reasoning, half-orogs are least inclined to live in a tribe (which often would be housed underground), though rarely they can be taken on in minor leadership roles when they do. Outside of the orcish world, half-orogs make excellent workers in the political field and as tacticians in armies.
