Homebrew Dorc Species Details
Short and stout like the dwarf these humanoids often have a green tinge to their skin from their orc parent. Burly and often with slightly more muscle tone than the average Dwarf they stand about 5 ft at their tallest. They are skilled in battle though their methods sometimes come off as brutal. They also manage fairly well at stone and metalworks.
It takes along time to gain the trust of a Dorc as they are used to being pushed aside and considered worthless and unhelpful. Their memory is not quite as good as their Dwarf parent but they can hold a grudge for many a year remembering exactly what you did wrong.
