This thread is to balance out my idea for Groclins and Orclins. Two types of a mixture of goblin and orc blood. Please note that in the Campaign setting I'm using; Goblins get a +2 to climb checks and can use their Dex for climb as you would with Str, if their Dex is higher than their Str. Orcs get a +2 to intimidate checks, accept for: other orcs, monstrous humanoids, creatures of large or bigger size, undead, Outsiders, constructs, unintelligent creatures, any crearues more frightening (DM controlls this), creatures the DM specifies aren't affected, and gnolls (what, I like gnolls).

Here's what I have of the Racial Stats and etcetera:

Groclin/Orclin
(goblin-orc)

Goblins and orcs have long been closely associated with one another, whether occupying the same dungeon or arming together to create a powerful horde. Orcs usually consider themselves superior to goblins however, due to their greater strength, though in truth it is usually a form of goblinoid who leads massive hordes, as long as there are more goblins then orcs. In such cases, orcs are forced to treat goblins as their equals, or even superiors, though most orcs wouldn’t stand for such. The only orcs that would accept such an insult would be those who were raised by goblins, in which case they are taught to respect their goblin masters and are punished if they don’t. Because of this, whether it some form of respect, fear, or lack of choice, orcs sometimes will take goblin women as their wife. The other reason would normally be an orc child being betrothed to the child of a goblin chieftain, as a pact of some sort. Either results in what is known as Groclins. Groclins are treated with little respect by orcs, since their weaker than any full orc. Those that prosper are the ones in goblin society, who use greater strength to bully their way into power. The only Groclins in human society are generally captured slaves. Groclins vary depending on which parent was the mother. Those with orc mothers are stronger but not as bright, while those with goblin mothers are taller goblins, stronger but a little dimmer then the rest.

Appearance

Groclins with an orc mother (usually called Orclins) are smaller and thinner than orcs. They have longer arms, larger eyes, a forehead like that of a goblin, and a smaller head as bodily features. Their hair can be black (the most common colour), muddy brown, brownish blonde and even green, as well as most other dark or plain colours. Their eye colours are yellow for every four out of five Groclins, though there has also been purple, green and any other unusual colour – in fact, one of every five Groclins have multi coloured eyes. Groclins’ teeth are smaller than orcs’, but sharper and jagged as goblins. Their ears also are like that of their fathers kin, being larger. Their skin ranges from brownish yellow, to green, to a dirty blue.



Stats

Orclins

 +2 Str, -2 Int, -2 Chr: Orclins are strong from the blood of their mother race, but aren’t intellectual, and are as rude and hard to look upon as either race.
 Medium Size.
 Land speed of 30 feet.
 Darkvision out to 60 feet
 +2 on climb checks: Orclins are slim and agile, allowing them to scale buildings and cave walls almost as well as their goblin blood.
 +2 on move silently checks: Orclins, though slightly clumsier than goblins, are still quite able to move without being heard.
 +2 on ride checks: An orclin’s flexible body lets it pull itself around to match their mount’s movements.
 -1 morale: Orclins have been bossed around and bullied by their stronger orc kin to the extent of being naturally fearful.
 Martial Orc Double Axe: Orclins can use an orc double axe as a martial weapon, instead of exotic.
 Automatic languages: Goblin, Orc, Common. Bonus Languages: Gnoll, Dwarven, Giant, Undercommon.
 Favoured class: Rogue.

Groclins

 +2 Dex, -2 Int, -2 Chr: Groclins have goblin agility, but aren’t very intelligent and are prone to insult or other rudeness.
 Small size: +1 bonus to Armor Class, +1 bonus on attack rolls, +4 bonus on Hide checks, -4 penalty on grapple checks, lifting and carrying limits ¾ those of Medium characters.
 Land speed of 25: A groclin’s orc blood has made it less agile than goblins.
 Dakvision out to 60 feet
 +2 on climb checks: Groclins are just as good as goblins when it comes to racing up a wall. Use the Dex mod for climb checks, as you would with Str, if the Dex score is higher than the Str score.
 +3 on move silently checks: Groclins tread softly when they need to. Making them able to slit a throat better than others.
 +3 on ride checks: The goblin skill of riding remains in Groclins.
 Martial Orc Double Axe: Orclins can use an orc double axe as a martial weapon, instead of exotic.
 Automatic languages: Goblin, Orc, Common. Bonus Languages: Gnoll, Dwarven, Giant, Undercommon, Draconic, Elven.
 Favoured Class: Rogue.

I'll get around to adding in more background later. Well, tell me what you think.
