Homebrew Elf-Orc Species Details
I was curious in finding a homebrew Elf-Orc since i thought a being with both races traits would be fascinating. Unfortunately the ones i found seemed too strong or just overly complicated, so i decided to make one my own that was simpler and straightforward.
For lore I really liked the dandwiki entry for Elf-Orcs so I adapted some of that and added a little bit of my own.
Whether born due to relations between members of the two enemy races, or created due to magical means such as a curse, Elf-Orcs can receive either awe or disgust due to their mixed heritage.
With an Elf's fair skin and hairless body mixed with strength and tusks of an Orc, those born in Elf societies will be looked down upon and seen as lesser beings due to the Orcish blood in their veins, although if they can still make a name for themselves as bodyguards and laborers.
Those born in Orc societies can be treated much better since strength determines worth in Orc clans. A more intelligent Elf-Orc could easily rise through the ranks as a Half-Orc would. Although more zealous Orcs will have disdain for them for carrying the blood of Corellon Larethian, the elf god who took the eye Gruumsh, the mightiest of the Orc gods.
