Half-Orcs

Half-Orcs are massive and they still have the vivid pink skin of their Orc progenitors but the naturally occurring patterned keloid-like scarring is not as prominent.

Half-Orcs are generally feared across the continent as they are a stark reminder of the Orcish threat, but both Aveh and Kislev use them as assault troops and thanks to Kislev's less stringent laws on slavery Rune Imprinted bodyguards are quite common there.

Half-Orc Race Profile:
Half-Orcs are naturally compitent at warfare and are more than physically suited to it, true Half-Orc warriors learn how to give in to the blood lust of their Feral namesakes just enough to make them a fearsome force in battle without losing control.

Racial Abilities:
 * Wound Threshold: 12+Brawn
 * Strain Threshold: 9+Willpower
 * Starting Experience: 95 XP
 * Special Abilities: Orcs begin with one rank in Coercion and one rank in a Combat Skill of their choice. You still cannot train these skills above rank 2 during character creation.
 * Fearsome: Half-Orcs are greatly feared amongst most societies even in areas that tolerate them, they add [Setback] to Charm, Deception, Leadership and Negotiation checks they make, but they add [Boost] to Coercion check they make, this does not apply when interacting with Half-Orcs or Orcs.
 * Battle Rage: When making a melee attack, a Half-Orc can choose to add [Setback] to the check to add +2 to the damage dealt by one hit of that attack.
