1) I believe you need rage to go into that class
2) When you get damaged at all you fly into frenzy
3) When in frenzy you need will checks to get out.

03-01-07, 12:21 AM What about an Eye of Gruumsh? its been awhile since I looked at it, but I seem to recall it being one of the PrC's I wanted to try if the chance came up. Plus putting your own eye out in a ritual just screams badass :cool:

03-01-07, 03:31 AM Eye of Grummish is an evil PrC, so try to avoid that one unless the campaign is suited for it (try explaining to your paladin friend why you've ritualistically put out your right eye and refuse to have it regenerated).

If the only characteristic of your character to go on is that he's a half-orc fighter, I'm afraid there are no PrCs I can recommend. Perhaps if you shared your character's background, strengths, weaknesses, and general direction you want to take him, we could be of more assistance.

03-01-07, 02:08 PM Something that I've seen a picture of, and would love to play ...

Half-orc Monk with vow of poverty. RP wise I would love to play the outcast who is sacraficing himself to be an icon of change. People automatically assume he's dirty and lesser, when in fact his monk training teaches him to be a good being, and his vow of poverty teaches him to give unto others. Kinda like orc-Gandhi. (then you PrC into enlightened fist or there's another one that's pretty neat)

OR ... I would like to go against the grain and play a cleric, half-orc. And then PrC into either war priest or Holy Liberator.
