The rare byproduct of a union between an aggressive halfling male and a mellow orc female, Orclings are strong, agile, but mentally, not much sharper than a butter knife. Due to their unique heritage, Orclings look like small, ferocious humans. Orclings usually are between around 3'4" and 4' tall, and weigh between 40-60lbs. Orcling facial hair grows quickly; many struggle with the desire to look clean and the impracticality of daily shaving while out in the wilderness. A well-groomed Orcling might be able to pass himself off as a thin dwarf or a tall halfling, but most people will notice there's something a little off about his appearance.
Orclings are usually raised in a halfling community, but have been known to be adopted by dwarves oblivious to their orc heritage. It is nearly unheard of for Orclings to live with Orcs, as they tend to feel uncomfortably out of place because of their small stature and comparatively calm demeanor. However, in one-on-one interactions, orcs and orclings work together well, even though they have a tendency to not fully trust each other.
Halfling society, for the most part, considers Orclings to be halflings, but most halflings are a little nervous in their presence. Due to their physical prowess, orclings in halfling society often help with manual labor, or occasionally become craftsmen. Orclings are friendly, but gruff and quick to anger, much like dwarves. Like halflings, they tend to be nomadic, wandering to where they feel useful.
Strongheart Orcling Racial Traits
+2 Strength, +2 Dexterity, -2 Intelligence (min 3), -2 Wisdom, -2 Charisma. Orclings inherit their agility from their halfling parent and strength from their orc parent. While this leaves them quite capable physically, their mental faculties are rather dull.
Humanoid (Orc, Halfling). Orclings are humanoid with both the orc and halfling subtypes. They are eligible for racial feats that require orc or halfling heritage.
Small (+1 AC, +1 attack, +4 hide, smaller weapons)
Base land speed: 20ft. However, due to their orc heritage, orclings can move at this speed even when wearing medium or heavy armor or when carrying a medium or heavy load (unlike other creatures, whose speed is reduced in such situations).
Strongheart Orclings gain one extra feat at 1st level, because they have a strong drive to prove themselves and many opportunities to hone their skills.
+2 racial bonus on Climb, Jump, and Move Silently checks.
+2 morale bonus on saving throws against fear.
+2 racial bonus on disguise when trying to look like a halfling or dwarf.
+2 racial bonus on Listen checks.
Automatic Languages: Common, Halfling, and Orc. Bonus Languages: Dwarven, Elven, Giant, Gnoll, Gnome, Goblin, and Undercommon.
