A Half-Orc may hear their Orcish blood speak to them in their dreams, or when they enter melee combat. This mark causes them to be consistently pushed towards utter rage, though not quite as much as the standard Orc. Orcs think they’re too small as well, forcing them to act more tough or take more risks than usual.Ī significant motivator to the Half-Orc’s stigma is the Mark of Gruumsh. Their scarred bodies and still massive form make it difficult for a Half-Orc to fit in, especially amongst humans. Their slightly more normalized skin color, more humanized body type, and shorter tusks help them quite a lot in civilized society… Though they are far from accepted, like Humans are. They normally come about when human and orc tribes form alliances, after years of brawling amongst one another.
Half-Orcs are part of the original Player’s Handbook. Mark of Finding (Eberron: Rising from the Last War).
