Half-Orcs are of mixed human and orc ancestry. They have much of the physical strength of their wild orcish forbears, and the human side of them allows them to be more disciplined in their training.

Overview

Half-Orcs are extremely strong and have a bonus modifier to Strength. Half-Orcs also have a penalty to Charisma and Intelligence. Half-Orcs excel in melee combat.

Although they are occasionally shunned in social settings because of their appearance, no one can deny their formidable combat ability.

Originally a premium race, Half-Orc was made free in Update 53.
