OROG



"I can assure you I am not as foolish as you believe."

Orogs generally tend to look like taller than average Orcs. They also happen to be more disciplined and intelligent than either Orc or Ogres, which is considered astonishing as the one other Orc/Ogre crossbreed (the Ogrillon) isn't known for either.

OROG CHARACTERS
If you want to play a hulking melee brute but are tired of Warblade or Int based Fighter Feats being out of reach due to racial Int penalties, the Orog is for you. Granted they don't have an Int bonus, but with their physical stat bonuses it shouldn't be hard to get a decent Int.
Adventuring Race: Orogs often tire of being surrounded by genocidal, racist idiots. It's not that they don't have some pretty narrow-minded views themselves, but their parent are in all ways dumber, less patient, incapable of taking the long view, and semi-suicidal. For this reason many Orogs sign on as mercenaries to travel away and fight alongside more intelligent partners.
Character Development: In addition to melee beatsticks Orogs make nice Clerics, though they'll never be champions at Turning Undead.
Character Names: Orogs generally use Orc or Ogre names.

ROLEPLAYING AN OROG
Life is short, brutal and messy for Orcs. Thankfully you may be just smart enough to find a way out if you can keep from dying while constantly being flung to the front lines in constant battles.
Personality: You have a lot of anger. Mostly due to the fact that your sort aren't very common, and you're doomed to live among idiots because they consider you too valuable to let you leave.
Behaviors: Games of strategy like Go are surprisingly popular among Orogs. Other Orcs may not understand them, but the Orog community is devoted to more intellectual pursuits as a way of distracting themselves from their life circumstances.
Language: Orog generally use the languages of their parents.

OROG SOCIETY
Orogs have no culture or society of their own, despite being more intelligent than either Orc or Ogres. One could probably arise if there were enough of them and they were given a chance.
Alignment : Much like their parents Orogs are almost exclusively Chaotic Evil.
Lands : Almost all Orogs live with their Orc parents, though some few with less self control stay with the Ogres.
Settlements : Orogs are not so common that they need to settle away from home.
Beliefs : Most Orogs live with their Orc parents, and are usually indoctrinated into the Orc religion despite their mixed parentage.
Relations: Orogs aren't all that different from most Orcs or Ogres

OROG ADVENTURES
· You wake up to find that you have spent the last 20 minutes in public, naked, beating a shepherd to death with a pigs skull. The local Sheriff would like an explanation, and quite frankly so would you.
· It's been a hard days work on the battlefield, and unfortunately you're the only one left on your side. The only thing on the other side is a gargantuan undead happily munching the humans. Man you really have to stop eating those mushrooms...
· An insane elf woman has happily declared that you are now her adopted child. Which is not quite as disturbing as the fact that she calls you her little muscle boy while rubbing olive oil into your many bodily crevices. You aren't sure if she's a pervert or an anthropophagi, and you have no intention of finding out.


Orog Racial Substitution Levels

SHOCK TROOPER



"Everyone just thinks I'm a big dumb guy."

Orog's are favorites of the Orc military, who generally put them right up front due to their superior physical abilities (and not incidentally because some see them as expendable due to their being half-breeds). Also their superior intelligence makes them valuable as they're better at quick decision making.

BECOMING A SHOCK TROOPER
Most Orog Fighters will find it easy to segue into this PrC.

ENTRY REQUIREMENTS
Race: Orog
Feats: Cometary Collision
Skills: Intimidate 6 ranks
BAB: +6


Class Skills
The Shock Troopers’ class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Climb (Str), Handle Animal (Cha), Intimidate (Cha), Jump (Str), Listen (Wis), Ride (Dex), Spot (Wis) and Swim (Str).
Skills Points at Each Level : 2 + int

Hit Dice: d10

   BAB  Fort    Ref    Will  Abilities
1. +1    +2     +0     +0    Careful Charge
2. +2    +3     +0     +0    Tactical Charge

9. +9    +6     +3     +3    Improved Ready Action
10.+10   +7     +3     +3   Pile On

Weapon Proficiencies: A Shock Trooper gains no new weapon or armor proficiencies.

Careful Charge (Ex): At 1st Level you gain a +1 Bonus to AC when performing a Charge. This increases to +2 at Level 4, and +3 at Level 7.

Tactical Charge (Ex): At 2nd Level opponents who Ready a weapon against a Charge do not receive their damage multiplier against you.

At 5th Level you receive a +4 Bonus on Opposed Combat Checks made as part of a Charge.

At 8th Level Special Attacks you make as part of a Charge or as a Readied Action do not provoke Attacks of Opportunity.

Improved Ready Action (Ex): At 3rd Level you gain a +2 Bonus on any rolls made as part of a Readied Action.

At 6th Level your Initiative result does not change when you use a Readied Action.

At 9th Level you may Ready a Full Round Action

Pile On (Ex): Any Ally attacking an Opponent you have successfully Attacked this round does a cumulative +1d6 damage. I.e. you do normal damage, the next Ally does +1d6, the second does +2d6, the third does +3d6 etc.

PLAYING A SHOCK TROOPER
Despite the name, Shock Troopers spend as much time anticipating what their enemies may do as they do running about mashing stuff.
Combat: Unlike the screaming anthropoids you stand in front of you realize the value of teamwork as opposed to simply screaming at the enemy yelling while swinging an axe haphazardly. This means you have to impress said screaming anthropoids while pretending to be one of them, whilst trying to work as a team with your fellows at the same time to kill the enemy while minimizing losses on your own side. It's why your kind dies young. Not from battle, the stress kills you.
Advancement: Shock Troopers have some versatility. They're expected to fill a very niche position, but as long as they produce they're given some free reign to proceed as they want as far as training goes. As far as most Orcs are considered the Orogs have some pretty weird ideas, but that's due to the Orcs lack of intelligence.
Resources: Orog's usually get pretty well equipped by either the Orc military or whatever mercenary outfit hires them. They're expensive toys for the Orc. At least the Orcs think so. The Orog's realize they're actually in charge so long as they convince the caqptain all his ideas are theirs.

SHOCK TROOPERS IN THE WORLD
"He's got some interesting moves for an Orc."
You live kind of an unfortunate life. You're consider less of a person due to being a half-breed, yet you have more intelligence than your Orc commanders. Being a specialty unit you rank outside the traditional Orc military structure, and while you get paid and equipped better you have no authority, and are often called upon to face more risk.
Daily Life: You live the life of a typical military man, with the addition of scheming in ways to improve the army while making your idiot superiors think it was their idea.
Notables:
Organizations: Shock Troopers are almost always employed as mercenaries or by the Orcish military.

NPC Reaction
To most NPC's you're just another Orc.

SHOCK TROOPERS IN THE GAME
This assumes the party belongs to some form of official army as opposed to a small group.
Adaptation: This is probably meant for military or mercenary campaigns as opposed to more traditional adventurer type games.
Encounters: Shock Troopers are usually found in raids what with them being military units and all.

Sample Encounter
EL 12: The PC's have fallen so low the only ones willing to hire them are an Orc village trying to secede from their more homicidal kin. The leaders are pretty big for Orcs...actually they kinda remind you of Ogres...

Improved Calm Rage
You have adapted to using magical items.

An Orog is also considered to be one size larger when determining whether a creature’s special attacks based on size (such as improved grab or swallow whole) can affect him. An Orog can use weapons designed for a creature one size larger without penalty. However, his space and reach remain those of a creature of his actual size. The benefits of this racial trait stack with the effects of powers, abilities, and spells that change the subject’s size category.

You grow a lil bigger than usual.
Prerequisites: Orog, Ogre's Strength
Benefits: Replace your Powerful Build with Large Size and increase your Natural Armor Bonus by +2.

NEO-OROG CHARACTERS
Neo-Orogs are meant to be melee beatsticks, though they make ok gishes too. Assuming anyone will train one in magic.
Adventuring Race: Neo-Orogs generally adventure because they have been ordered to, or because they suddenly find themselves on their own and have no desire to return to Thay, but aren't sure what t do with their life.
Character Development: Try to take Leadership to make use of your War Cry if the rest of the party don't have the Orc Subtype.
Character Names: Neo-Orogs generally use Orc or Thayan names.

ROLEPLAYING A NEO-OROG
Killing is not wrong inherently. Everyone kills to eat or in self defense, so how can they say killing is wrong in any circumstance? The other races are weak.
Personality: A military lifestyle has been drummed into you from birth, as well a s obedience to the Red Wizards. You are surprisingly conformist and devoted to the rule of law for a member of an Orcish race.
Behaviors: Neo-Orogs are pretty violent, even for Orcs. Were they not also Lawful they would be difficult to restrain, and would be little more than spree killers.
Language: Neo-Orogs speak Orcish and the common tongue.

NEO-OROG SOCIETY
Neo-Orogs have no culture or society. Technically they are members of Thayan society, but they are military units sheltered from public life and only brought forth when their use is required.
Alignment : Neo-Orogs are almost compulsively Lawful Evil being as they are a magically created race.
Lands : The Neo-Orogs originated in Thay, and have not spread past it.
Settlements : Neo-Orogs are confined to their barracks in Thay when not on a mission.
Beliefs : Being brought up in Thay, the majority of Neo-Orogs worship Bane.
Relations: Beyond the Thayan wizards and their fellow Orcs, the Neo-Orogs don't consider anything else as beings with rights. Murdering them is as inconsequential an act as ordering lunch.

NEO-OROG ADVENTURES
· The Wizards have ordered you to take a tower haunted by a Lich. Who used to be a Giant. Sure. No problem. While your at it, maybe you can depose a few Gods too...
· The companies leaders have been wiped out by a small group of Half Dragon Orcs who have given you the option of joining their draconic sire or dying. You're tempted, but they're waaay too lawless for you. Time to bust out the diplomacy skills. AKA lying.
· You wake up in your guard post to find out that all the Wizards are dead and you and your fellows are free men. So begins the argument about whether or not to avenge the Wizards, run for your lives, return to Thay, or stay here and take over.

PLAYING A SOLDIER
You were conceived and designed to be an instrument of terror. A monster to stand between your owner and whatever wishes to harm him, though to be honest your master may be far more of a monster than you will ever be.
Combat: Soldiers are meat shields. Your job is to stand between your master and the enemy and take whatever punishment is necessary for your master to get off the right spells. You don't exactly do ranged combat much, that's what the Black Neo-Orog's are for.
Advancement: Thayan Soldiers are beholden to their benefactors, and they train in whatever manner their master desires unless they escape.
Resources: If your master is the rewarding type you have whatever he has to offer. On the other hand he may also be stingy in which case you had better be quick thinking.

SOLDIERS IN THE WORLD
"If you want to kill Izzedin, you will need to get past his lapdog first."
You are a hermit, a shut-in, you see no one but your owner and your fellow owned until such time as your skills are needed, and then you kill a few targets, and are retired to heal up until the next time.
Daily Life: Your life is endless training until an errand becomes necessary.
Notables:
Organizations: All Red Neo-Orog's work for the Red Wizards of Thay unless they have been taken captive or escaped. Few know enough about outside life that they wish to escape unless their master if pretty harsh.

NPC Reaction
The Neo-Orog's pretty much terrify everyone.

SOLDIERS IN THE GAME
This class assumes you are (or were) the pet killer of an evil Wizard (who may or may not be a PC). It could be troublesome.
Adaptation: This is meant for an all evil campaign set in Thay, but can be adapted with work.
Encounters: Thayan Soldiers are only encountered when dealing with the Red Wizards or Thayan military.

Sample Encounter
EL 12: The PC's are enjoying a nice brandy, relaxing after an exhausting mission when a bunch of huge red orc-like weirdos burst in and demand food and directions or they'll kill everyone. The group needs to stop going to taverns...

[Bhu]

Racial feats and sub levels are up, will have the soldier up soon

[Cieyrin]

I'd make the racials Fighter feats, personally. Violence is okay, I question whether the upgrades are, though. I realize they stack with Weapon Focus and the like but Point Blank Shot isn't considered to be that great a feat, either.

[Bhu]

Extra damage dice instead for the Feats perhaps?

[Cieyrin]

Extra damage dice instead for the Feats perhaps?

Could work, though I'd need to see specifics. Maybe some action enhancements, like Horrifying Ultraviolence granting standard action Full Attacks but at a price or limited somehow.

[Bhu]

Re-did Feats and soldier has fluffies.

[Cieyrin]

Re-did Feats and soldier has fluffies.

Looking better. How does Horrifying Ultraviolence interact with Keen or Improved Critical?

[Bhu]

Considering that stuff never stacks it's proly be the same. It's just that instead of getting the critical bonus with one weapon you get it with any melee attack.

[Bhu]

Soldier is ready for review. WIll start Black Neo-Orog while I await feedback

The Black Neo-Orogs were designed as ranged back-ups for the Reds. They're also used as assassins and saboteurs to soften up targets before the Reds come in to finish them off.

Character Names: Neo-Orogs generally use Orc or Thayan names.

ROLEPLAYING A NEO-OROG

NEO-OROG ADVENTURES
· Your team has been sent to scout and sabotage a border fort only to find it empty, with all it's stores and equipment intact. You are divided about going back to report or holding the fort till more reinforcements arrive within a week.
· Your team is sent to assassinate a neighboring politician, only to find him in small pieces when you arrive. Now you have to find out who did it and why, while dodging the local authorities who are almost sure to blame you.
· Your master hasn't been seen in months. Food and supplies still arrive on schedule, but no news, and none of the delivery teams know anything other than they're still being paid. Some believe it's time to go make sure everything is okay, as formerly your ownerr was something of a micro manager.


Neo-Orog (Black) Racial Substitution Levels

Scout
Levels 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19: Replace Skirmish with Ambush
Ambush (Ex): In any round in which the Scout makes an attack against an opponent who is Flat-Footed or unaware of his presence he does +1d6 damage. He also gets this bonus to ranged attacks performed on any round in which he does not move. This extra damage increases by 1d6 for every four levels gained above 1st (2d6 at 5th, 3d6 at 9th, 4d6 at 13th, and 5d6 at 17th level).

The extra damage only applies against living creatures that have a discernible anatomy. Undead, constructs, oozes, plants, incorporeal creatures, and creatures immune to extra damage from critical hits are not vulnerable to this additional damage. The scout must be able to see the target well enough to pick out a vital spot and must be able to reach such a spot. Scouts can apply this extra damage to ranged attacks made while skirmishing, but only if the target is within 30 feet.

At 3rd level, the applicable range for your Ambush attack increases by +20'. This bonus improves by and additional 20' for every four levels gained above 3rd (+40' at 7th, +60' at 11th, +80' at 15th, and +120' at 19th level).

A scout loses this ability when wearing medium or heavy armor or when carrying a medium or heavy load. If she gains the skirmish ability from another class, the bonuses stack.
Level 8: Replace Camouflage with Improved Uncanny Dodge
Improved Uncanny Dodge (Ex): This is identical to the Rogue Ability listed in the PHB.

Rogue
Level 10+: You gain additional options with the Rogue's Special Ability.
Special Ability: Ranged Sneak Attack (Ex): This may be chosen multiple times, each time it increases the range of your Sneak Attack by +30'. If you have Death Attack it increases the range of it as well.

Levels 2, 6, 11: Different option with Combat Mastery
Combat Mastery: At 2nd Level you gain the Disabling Strike Feat, at 6th Level you gain the Able Sniper Feat, and at 11th Level you gain the Concealed Ambush Feat.
Level 4: Replace Animal Companion with Dark Knowledge
Dark Knowledge: At each Level when you attain a new Level of Spells you can cast you gain one Bonus spell per day (i.e. one Bonus spell from Spell Levels 1-4). These spells are chosen from the Assassin Spell list. In addition at each new Level you may switch one spell you already know for a spell of the same Level (this may be chosen from either the Ranger or Assassin Spell lists).
Level 13: Replace Camouflage with Skill Mastery
Skill Mastery (Ex): Identical to the Rogue ability listed in the PHB.

PLAYING AN INFILTRATOR
Thayan Infiltrators are the Red Wizards attempt at having a race of personal ninjas. Flawed, incredibly tall ninjas with emotional stability problems, but ninjas nonetheless.
Combat: Infiltrators fight strictly from ambush as much as they can. They are assassins, not warriors. They do fil in as archers during wartime but that is not their preferred role.
Advancement: As with most military classes your advancement is at the whim of your superiors unless you decide to escape.
Resources: Infiltrators have the backing of their masters but since they spend much time alone in the field they need to be resourceful enough to steal or craft what they need on the fly if necessary.

INFILTRATORS IN THE WORLD
"What was that?"
The world doesn't like to talk to 7' tall magically crossbred orcish monstrosities all dressed in black, and therefore your social life largely consists of your unit. You'd better like them, because quite frankly you don't have anyone else.
Daily Life: Your life is training and missions. Any of your people too weak to pursue that lifestyle are culled.
Notables:
Organizations: All Infiltrators are part of the Thayan military unless they have run away.

NPC Reaction
NPC's feel the same about you as they would pretty much any other monster.

INFILTRATORS IN THE GAME
This assumes you are part of the Thayan military or hunted by them for desertion. Either way it could introduce complications to the campaign.
Adaptation: This is meant for Forgotten Realms settings but can be adapted.
Encounters: Infiltrators are found during wartime or in the months just leading up to it.

Sample Encounter
EL 12: The group is arguing with a fence when a bunch of black clad giants swoop in, shoot him in the head, and run off laughing. It's just not their day...

Giant Heritage Feats

Giantblood
You are descended form the mighty Giants.
Prerequisites: None
Benefits: If a race possesses the Giantblood Subtype, it has a strong affinity to Giants—which means that spells, effects, powers, and abilities that affect or target Giants also affect it. The Subtype qualifies a creature to use magic items normally only usable by Giants, and qualifies the creature to take feats that have the Subtype as a prerequisite. The Giantblood Subtype also makes creatures subject to harmful effects that affect Giants.The Giant Subtype does not confer the Giant Type or any traits associated with that Type. For instance, it does not give a creature Rock Throwing. Giants automatically qualify for any classes, prestige classes,
racial substitution levels, feats, powers, or spells that require the Giantblood Subtype. Should a creature acquire the Giant Type, it loses the Giantblood Subtype.

You also gain Powerful Build: Whenever you are subject to a Size Modifier or special Size Modifier for an opposed check (such as during Grapple Checks, Bull Rush attempts, and Trip attempts), you are treated as one size larger if doing so is advantageous to you.

You are also considered to be one size larger when determining whether your Opponents special attacks based on size (such as Improved Grab or Swallow Whole) can affect you. You can use weapons designed for a creature one size larger without penalty. However, your space and reach remain those of a creature of your actual size. The benefits of this Feat stack with the effects of powers, abilities, and spells that change your size category.

The effect is negated by a Will save (DC 10 + level of the spell cast + your Cha modifier, DC 10 + Hit Dice + your Cha Modifier for non-casters).

[Cieyrin]

I have no idea what the increased sniping range is meant to do for the Infiltrator, as it seems to suggest you have to be even further away than normal to snipe (a.k.a. you're getting worse at it). The normal min is at least 10' away from your target, so it doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

The Giantblooded Heritage feats are pretty interesting, I am rather intrigued by them. I haven't examined them enough to know power level but they're at least as intriguing as the Aberration Blood feat chains are.

[Bhu]

Sorry, I misread sniping, I will fix

[CinuzIta]

I'd like to give my contribute as well! Please feel free to correct every error (even ortography errors) that you find:)

Here is the result of orcs getting with goblins:

Ogwr

Ogwr are sons of orcs and goblins, be them the result of a violence or something more. At first they just stayed with their parents' tribes but, as years went on, they grew in number and decided to form their own societies. Usually they live on mountainous areas, where they build villages on perilous places difficult to reach; this usually makes them good climber.
Ogwr usually form alliances with both orcs and goblins and even with worgs; their relations are not outstanding anyway. The other races, as humans, elves and dwarves, simply sees ogwrs as just another, dangerous, breed of orcs.

They have a slender but muscular body. Their hairs are black and become white as they age. Their eyes' colours can be dark red, white or black. Their skins can span from a dark green to a light gray. They usually stands from 4,5 to 5,2 feet tall.

Ogwr Racial Traits

· +2 Dexterity, +2 Constitution, -2 Intelligence, -2 Charisma.
· Medium size.
· Humanoid (Ogwr).
· Base land speed 30 ft.
· Darkvision out to 60 feet.
· Light Build: even though ogwrs are medium sized, their light physical structure, inherited by their goblins ancestors, allow them to be treated as one size smaller if doing so is advantageous to them. They gain the same +1 bonus on attack rolls and AC against medium sized creatures and taller and also the +4 bonus on Hide checks. Lastly, they can elect medium sized creatures as their mounts (usually this role is covered by worgs or wolves).
· +2 bonus on Climb, Jump and Ride checks.
· Orc blood:For all effects related to race, an ogwr is considered an orc.
· Orcish weapon familiarity. Ogwrs may treat weapons with "orcish" in the name as martial weapon rather than exotic.
· Automatic Languages: Orc, Common. Bonus Languages: Dwarven, Giant, Goblin, Undercommon.
· Favored Class: Ranger

Starting Age
Adulthood: 14
Barbarian, Rogue, Sorcerer: +1d4
Bard, Fighter, Paladin, Ranger: +1d6
Cleric, Druid, Monk, Wizard: +2d6

Aging
Middle Age: 28
Old: 42
Venerable: 56
Maximum Age: +2d6 years

Ogwr Racial Substitution Levels

Ranger
Level 2: Replace the Archery combat style with Mounted combat style. at second level an ogwr ranger who selects the Mounted combat style is treated as having the mounted archery feat even if he does not have the normal prerequisites for that feat.

At sixth level an ogwr ranger that has selected the Mounted combat style is treated as having the Improved Mounted Archery feat, even if he does not have the normal prerequisites for that feat.

At eleventh level an ogwr ranger that has selected the Mounted combat style is treated as having the Improved Precise Shot feat, even if he does not have the normal prerequisites for that feat.

Level 3: Replace the Endurance feat with the Mountain Warrior (RoS) feat.

Level 7: replace the Woodland Stride class feature with the Steady Mountaineer (RoS) feat.

Benefits: You have not bathed since your grandfather was born. The dirt has accumulated so thick on your goblinoid skin that it has become part of you, a shell of sorts. A bubble of trash and residue. You gain a natural armor bonus of +2 and you gain immunity to smell based attacks

overpowered, especially since it's only prereq is goblin

Giantstench Goblin
Prerequisites:Goblin, HD 5+, Greatmuck goblin
Benefits: your grime has grown a grim scent. Its horrid stench is that of the end times. All within 10ft of you are sickened on a failed fortitude save (con based)

does the sickened last any time once they leave the area of effect?

Benefits: Once a day per point of con bonus, you can use the power attack feat for one round, in addition, in that round, you gain an additional attack at your highest base attack bonus (but this extra attack must be modified by power attack)

slightly overpowered

yea Ive never been good with feats, I also don't know how to fix it...

[Bhu]

Compare them to similar feats. A +1 to AC is a Feat (EPic if I remember rightly). So a +2 to AC AND an immunity is too much, unless there are some stiffer prerequisites. Also 'smell based' is kind of vague.


We can hash them out by PM if you'd like

Okay, thank you:)

The more, the merrier!

Legacy Feat has been expanded!

[Bhu]

Okay for our start do you want trolls, ogres, or more traditional giants?

Verbeeg are tall, thin humanoids with minor deformities. They often live near Ogres or Hill Giants, and are renowned for their selfish, pragmatic nature. Opportunists by nature they often manipulate the other Giants into softening up foes before moving into the fray themselves. Most wear Hide Armor, and carry either a club or spear and a shield.

Combat: Verbeeg are not cowards, but they are very risk adverse. They tend to travel in groups, always fight from ambush if possible, and use misdirection and lies to confuse opponents.
