Homebrew Fey Orc Species Details
Orcs and fey couldn't live much more different lives, but yet, they're similar in more ways than one would expect. A love and respect for nature, a connection with Micaerth, and a general sense of familial loyalty. The melding of the two produces a rare mix of both strengths: that of strength and that of the arcane. Fey Orc are stocky beauties to behold, but they're more than a pretty face. They have a natural attunement to fey magics along with the strength of other half-orcs. If you find a Fey Orc, count yourself lucky.
Fair and Strong
Fey orcs exhibit a blend of orcish and elf-fey characteristics, and their appearance varies widely. Grayish-bluish skin tones and prominent teeth are the most common shared elements among these folk. They often have an ethereal presence with fine wispy hair and colorful hair. They tend to be stockier and better built than their elven counterparts.
