Because I'm currently DM'ing a campaign that having a half-orc wouldn't really fit, but that "template" would. He would be a barbaran,but the rest of the party is humans and dwarves. In the core rulebook it said Half-orcs are hostile towards them. I know I'm the DM, but I was just wondering...

I had a player once who wanted to use the Goliath race's stats but wanted to play a human, and there was never any kind of problem. This is pretty much the same level as playing a Policeman or Detective and using the Rogue class. There are some times when crunch can fit more than one type of fluff.

I give them both. Also think of a good reason why they would even have darkvision if your keeping that, as barbarians don't necessarily have the ability to see in the dark.
