Orcish Subrace;
Imperial orcs, also called "Irons." are a subrace of martially inclined orcs, built for battle and disciplined much further than that of their brothers; a battalion of Iron orcs are near unbeatable during a skirmish.
Most Imperial orcs have thick greyish skin, sometimes tinted with greens or brown. Armour and weaponry is considered almost a fashion, replacing jewelery in most instances and it is uncommon to see an Iron not wearing some kind of armour.
Imperial orcs revere many warrior deities, some praise to Grummsh and some to Hextor, and some even hail to Herenious.
Imperial Orc Traits: Imperial orcs possess the following racial traits.
+4 Strength, -2 Dexterity, +4 Constitution, -2 Wisdom, -4 Charisma
Imperial orcs are very strong and sturdy, but lack in other places, they are also very stubborn and Gruff.
+1 Natural Armour
Imperial orcs skin is very tough and durable.
Low Light Vision
Imperial orcs lack the dark vision of other orcs, but still have keen eyesight compared to others.
+4 to saves vs fear
Imperial orcs are near fearless warriors who are disciplined to stand strong in the face of even overwhelming odds.
Weapon Training
All imperial orcs grew up in a society built around martial study and weaponry, and as of this, they are all proficient in Light and medium armour, and a martial melee weapon of their choice.
Bonus Feat
Because of their upbringing, all imperial orcs have knowledge of advanced battle techniques and may choose a bonus feat from those available to fighters.
+1 racial bonus on attack rolls against Dwarves, Elves and their sub races.
In the same way that Dwarves often train specifically to combat orcs, Imperial orcs have done the same against their common enemies.
Automatic Languages: Common, Orc. Bonus Languages; Giant, Gnome, Goblin, Terran, Undercommon.
Favoured Class: Fighter
Level Adjustment +2
Anything so say? Its really Melee based sub race, I hope the +2 LA is balancing. Just somthing I'd like to share, Ive loved the idea for a less barbaric, more tacticly aware, smarter, stronger and tougher orcs of a LE/LN alignment.
