| - Half-Orcs (or Half-Humans to their orcish parent) are the offspring of an orc and a human. Generally this is non-consensual between a male orc and a female human, whose town has just been razed by an orcish horde. They are usually mildy distrusted throughout the human areas of Polaqu.
- It says much about the fecundity of both humans and orcs that both races are able to freely interbreed with so many other types of humanoids. It should come as no surprise, then, that they are also able to breed easily with each other, producing a recognizeable and equally fertile crossbreed.
- There are three typs of half-orcs.
* Half-orc / half-human
* Half-orc / half-orger (Known as Mok'nathal)
* And half-orc / half-draenei Here is a characters on WoWRP.
- Half-orc is een term die wordt gebruikt om iemand te beschrijven die zowel een orc of half-orc als ouder heeft, als een ouder van een ander ras.
- Half-orc is a term used to describe the offspring of an orc or half-orc parent and a parent of any other species. Since the beginning of the First War, orcs have interbred with a number of species: mostly humans, but half-ogres and half-draenei are not unheard of. (HPG 139) (BtDP #?) It most often refers to a half orc/human, but can also be used to refer to a half-orc half-ogre, or half-orc half-draenei.
- A Half-Orc is a humanoid creature of mixed Human and Orc ancestry. One such creature was Grognag Clawtooth.
- Półork to termin używany do określenia potomka orka lub półorka oraz przedstawiciela innego gatunku. Od czasów Pierwszej Wojny orkowie spółkowali z licznymi rasami: głównie ludźmi, lecz spotykana były również półogry i półdraenei. Najczęściej termin ten używany jest wobec półorka/pół człowieka, lecz występuje również w odniesieniu do pół-orków, pół-ogrów czy pół-orków, pół-draenei.
- Orcish ability adjustments: +2 Str, -2 Int, -2 Cha Favored class (Barbarian): A multiclass half-orc's barbarian class does not count when determining whether he suffers an XP penalty for multiclassing.
- These feats have the half-orc race as a prerequisite. Additional prerequisites are noted.
- Half-orcs are humanoids born of both human and orc ancestry by a multitude of means. Combining the physical power of their orcish ancestors with the agility of their humans ones, half-orcs can be formidable individuals. Though often shunned in both human and orcish society, though for different reasons, half-orcs have proven themselves from time to time as worthy heroes and dangerous villains. Their existence implies an interesting back story that most would not like to dwell on.
- The half-orc are originally progeny of human and orc procreation though half-orcs can mate with either species and create half-orc children. Half-orcs occupy a border in society. Although orcs are recognized as a civilized race under the Galifar Code of Justice they are none-the-less looked down upon by the more civilized races and the half-orc inherits enough of their savagery to discomfort many by their sheer presence though the human ancestory in them craves social structure and comforts. Half-orcs are fairly rare in Eberron though the half-orcs of House Tharashk in The Shadow Marches have developed a society of their own fueled by their knack for tracking things down, most notably dragonshards.
- Half-Orc +2 Str, -2 Int, -2 Cha Favored class: Barbarian Darkvision: Half-orcs are able to see in the dark.
- Half-orcs are the inevitable result when orcs clash with other humanoid races. Several orc tribes actively work toward breeding half-orc children for their greater mental capabilities. These half-breeds are despised by most of the world, however, which sees them as the spawn of violence or a filthy perversion.
- Half-orcs can be found in most major human settlements of the Shores and the Shores, though mostly in the eastern and northern parts of the world. They are sometimes distrusted, especially in Frostkeep and the lands to the southeast around the city of Myriad that has a long history of war with orcs.
- Half-orcs were cross between an Orc and an Human. Most of these crossbreeds served as Black Númenóreans during the time of the Third Age.
- Half-orcs result from the sometimes uncomfortable union between humans and orcs, often being born on frontiers or in war zones. More often than not they are raised in human societies, but some also survive the brutish orc life.
- Half-Orcs are men and women of the wild. Their origin is lies in myths, but they tend to be a species on their own.
- Half-orcs or "Goblin-men" were spies and warriors used by Saruman during the time he sought power in Middle-earth in the late Third Age. They were the servants of Saruman used in the old process of breeding Uruk-hai. Only once are they mentioned in the books. In The Two Towers ("Helm's Deep" chapter, during the Battle of the Hornburg), Gamling, a man of Rohan, refers to the army bred by Saruman as half-orcs and goblin-men.
- Half-orcs are the result of orc and human coupling and typically bear many of the physical traits of their orc ancestors. They usually have green skin, large tusk-like teeth protruding from the lower jaw, large muscular builds and thick body hair. They also receive a -2 penalty to intelligence but their reputation as being mentally-deficient is generally exaggerated.
- Culture Due to their orcish blood, half-orcs are on poor terms with some of the other races. Relations are particularly troubled with elves and dwarves, due to racial enmity between orcs and these races. It's not to say that it's impossible for a half-orc to find camaraderie with an elf or a dwarf, however; dwarves, in particular, are willing to befriend half-orcs who have proven themselves worthy of a dwarf's trust. Half-elves tend to be sympathetic toward half-orcs, knowing the hardships of being an outcast from both of their parent races. Halflings and gnomes are generally accepting of half-orcs and happily interact with them. Half-orcs adopt different attitudes to gain acceptance from those who are wary of their orcish heritage. Some are reserved, some demonstrate public virtue, while
- In the wild frontiers, tribes of human and orc barbarians live in uneasy balance, fighting in times of war and trading in times of peace. Half-orcs who are born in the frontier may live with either human or orc parents, but they are nevertheless exposed to both cultures. Some, for whatever reason, leave their homeland and travel to civilized lands, bringing with them the tenacity, courage, and combat prowess that they developed in the wilds.
- Half-Orcs have the following racial traits:
* +2 Strength, –2 Intelligence, –2 Charisma. A half-orc’s starting Intelligence score is always at least 3. If this adjustment would lower the character’s score to 1 or 2, his score is nevertheless 3.
