Homebrew Half-Orc (Revision 2024) Species Details

Half-orcs, colloquially known as half-tusks in Purskul and Zehoarastria of Amn, were humanoids born of both human and orc ancestry by a multitude of means. Having the combined physical power of their orcish ancestors with the agility of their human ones, half-orcs were formidable individuals. Though they were often shunned in both human and orcish society for different reasons, half-orcs have proven themselves from time to time as worthy heroes and dangerous villains. Their existence implied an interesting back story that most would not like to dwell on.
