Khaelieth 12-02-07, 07:58 PM	For a campaign I'm about to start up, I decided doing things differently. My players wanted to be evil, so they're now orcs in the East. They also wanted a special template/race, so they feel even more special, and I'm trying to balance things out. I've based it on the orog race, but they're a breed of orcs the Red Wizards were experimenting on when they were making Blooded Ones, but proved too smart and expensive, so the project was abandoned. The regeneration is from troll blood infused in them. Also considering making them fey, due to them being tools for an unseelie fey for some revenge on the Red Wizards. Type: Augmented humanoid (orc) Stats: +6 Str -2 Dex -2 Wis +2 Cha Size: medium Speed: 30 ft. Qualities: light blindness, regeneration 1 (not against fire & acid) Fav. Class: Barbarian ECL: +2 I'm considering a higher ECL... Any help?

I mean, they only really get +4 str, with that dex penalty of theirs (as imo, dex is similar in terms of importance to str), and get the same penalty the drows do, right?? Regeneration is also nice, but it's not that much, imo. Try checking other races with high lvl adjustments, I can give you an example of a Fey'ri, who, when choosing 3 spell like abilities :suggeston, charm person, fire resistance; having wings and alter self at will, not to mention the stat bonuses (+2 dex -2 con, and +2 int if I recall correctly ) has a +2 lvl adj. He's also an outsider , so immune to charm person and similar effects. Make your guys more powerful:)
Khaelieth 12-03-07, 02:49 PM	+6 str, not +4. Based on orog, not orc.
Alkasyn 12-03-07, 03:48 PM	Yea, I treated the +6 str, - 2 dex and made a bonus without a penalty off that. What I mean is that they get a free 4 points to the stats - seeing as they get a penalty to wis and a bonus to cha (those imo are worth more or less the same, as I doubt Your players would be paladins or clerics anyway) and imo dex is worth as much as strenght for a fighter type, so I just added those, too. That's where I got the +4 str from. My point still stands - this Lvl adjustment is ok, imo.
Saefal 12-12-07, 08:00 AM	give a bonus to wisdom not charisma, keen senses are a bestial troll thing, strong sense of self and innate magic isn't really. IMHO.
Khaelieth 12-12-07, 06:47 PM	Aye, was thinking of maybe doing that. But remember, these orcs are bred for leadership.
