I got this one idea from a web comic which depicted Orcs as actually being quite eloquent and intelligent. But the reason they seem stupid to others, is because they aren't fluent in Common. Based on this, I have an idea for an Orc Wizard, who's books are all written in Orcish!

You guys missed the best class ever, Bard. I had a half-orc with long flowing blonde hair. He was an evangelist of Gruumsh and was converting humans in various villages to worship the one-eye. He used charm and other tricks to pull off fake miracles while the rogue picked pockets in the crowd. He was like a televangelist minus the "tele". He had high charisma but low intelligence so he was convinced that Gruumsh was a god of love and compassion. Some of his notable miracles were cutting fish in half to multiply food and pulling peoples belts tighter to eleviate hunger pains. Good times.

Had an idea for an orc monk that thought he was a wizard. "Kronk cast sleep" *smacks enemy around the head with staff*/ *catches arrow* "Kronk majik shield iz too gud". The possibility for fun is endless especially if there's an actual wizard in the group and they find that kronk has updates their spell book for them.

*eyebrow raise* messing with a wizard's spellbook is worse than thieving from other characters, and a lot of DMs ban interparty stealing. Don't get me wrong it's a funny idea, I like it a lot in that fun / interesting character way. But Wizards can't change spells without their spellbooks. They can't do rituals. It's expensive to fix what they're able to fix- which is only recommitting what's in their head to paper. If a wizard doesn't have it in their head or their book they've now lost it forever short of finding and copying it from something else. In other words you're straight up crippling their class by defiling their book. Hiding it as a prank or something is one thing, but damaging or getting rid of it is malicious. ... of course now I'm realizing maybe you meant just adding to the book. Which would be a waste of some expensive page space, but wouldn't be too bad ^^' still a bit expensive and wasteful though. ... yeah, there's a reason wizards are encouraged to make a spare or two if they can, though it's expensive and time consuming.

It was cleared with the gm that drawing stick men in the margins or words of encouragement wouldn't 'damage' the books/spells or hamper the actual wizard in anyway it's just a bit of fun for a cool rp aspect between 2 players. The orc would also have his own spell book so spare paper etc would be supplied when needed.

For the Orc, Cleric of life. Chances are big that a wounded ally is close to an enemy, so you can use aggression to move towards your ally. It makes you a more mobile healer than most healers. Let's also not forget that the Cleric of life gets heavy armour and clerics tend to be pretty good at smacking things anyway

The orc ability aggressive is amazing for any melee combatant. Being able to dash as a bonus action means 60 feet of movement which makes you very hard to kite, and very sticky. It can be the difference between not doing damage in a turn and doing full damage. Also helpful in chases , you can chase things at 90 feet per turn double dash, 120 if you're a barbarian 5 or higher.

I've often though of running an Orc along side a Goliath if the opportunity arose simply for powerful build and party diversity. The -2 int /w point buy at 8 making it 6 is really a gift to the player. Play it up. However the Powerful build is something that only the Orc, Minotaur, and Goliath (if memory serves) get access to in the RAW. If your DM doesn't overlook strength and what it can get away with mechanically those three races specifically bring a lot of versatility outside of combat and sometimes inside. *Throws boulder*

Gotta say Fighter. Champion Fighter in particular. Wide crit range, lots of extra attack die potential. Tanky Barbarian is also solid, yeah, but the absolute murder frenzy of a wide crit range high attack number Half Orc. Orc version gets that nice movement and can haul around all the heavy fighter gear and other stuff without too much issue. I also think Powerful Build is underrated... if you stack it with stuff. The DM has to let you really take advantage of your lift load. If you can lift and swing a big statue it should have some bonus to it. If you drop something huge on an enemy- that should really hurt. That kinda thing. A lift Bear-barian can be really amusing if you run with it. Lets be honest, your half orc isn't going to be the brains of the outfit unless you're intentionally playing against the class leanings. The worst that generally comes from a -2 to int instead of a -1 is... what? Sure, it can be bad in some situations, but it's a 1 point difference of bad you're already bad at for big lift and some very useful combat movement. Really, if you're using point buy or rolling your stats you might even be able to compensate and not even have that bad an int still if you're that concerned about it.

Wouldn't be surprised if in a 5.5e or 6e that they get rid of negative stats upon level up. As someone who's getting interested in D&D it doesn't make sense to lose stats upon gaining a level. Maybe a temporary stat loss via an ability, but who knows. Maybe they'll release variant orcs and make orcs available as part of the core races in a PHB.

... I think you're a little confused. Or I am about what you mean. Your stats don't change by those amounts at every level up or anything. It's not +2 str +1 con -2 int for an Orc at level 1, level 2, level 3, et cetera. It's a one time bonus / penalty applied at character creation. You apply that after you've determined your stats by your DMs prefered method. Otherwise an Orc would become as dumb as an animal in a small number of levels and then hit 0 intelligence and die.

If certain ability scores hit zero you just die. It can happen because of certain monsters or poisons. Things like that.

Fun character idea - Half Orc Outlander Fighter, who's a bit of a Rustic/Land using type, dressing with bones, pelts, maybe even has a handmade spear or the like for emergencies when he needs it. He uses the tribal based enhanced strength of his orc heritage to hunt effectively, to train My general idea with it is to make him a generalist with Defense Fighting Style, two hand axes, a spear, shield and a great axe. Maybe even a Bow and Arrows. The idea he uses Medium armor too, favouring mobility.

I personally love Orc Barbarians. The aggressive ability to help mitigate attacks made at you helps greatly boost Barbs. If you reckless, every attack towards you has advantage. So... take the mobile feat or a reach weapon and use that 30-40 movement speed twice a turn. At lvl5, barbs gain another 10 movement speed, too. 15ft from Totem Barb at lvl3, although you'll probably want resistance to all damage except psychic lolol. Plus, grappling then pushing larger things is easier as an Orc. If your enemy has numerous attacks, relentless is so worthless Orcs > Half-Orcs all around

I feel like this video was too quick, it's fairly obvious they orcs make good martial classes but smaller synergies would have been nice to hear about, things like the insane synergy in champion fighter and the like

@@Altyrell well, I like the alignment variety of Paladin, it expands the "Divine Warrior" concept for other races and deities. And as for the Orcs, I guess they became Chaotic Evil to stop overlapping with Hobgoblins.

Wouldn't be surprised if in a 5.5e or 6e they have orcs be whatever alignment their deity is. Lawful Evil, Chaotic Evil, and Nuetral Evil. Don't forget Lawful Nuetral and Chaotic Nuetral for Orc antiheroes.

It's just so difficult to look past Barbarian. It's a cliche for a reason. I think if I was going to play a (Half) Orc as anything else, I'd want to go _completely_ against type and pick Warlock or Sorcerer.
