{{OGL Top}} ==== Arctic Half-Orcs ==== The arctic is a harsh place for the chosen people of orc gods. Many tribes of arctic orcs eke out a living on the warm slopes of volcanic mountains, herding elk and caribou. Often their mutual dependence on sources of fresh water and meat brings them into contact with arctic-dwelling [[SRD:Humans (Race)|human]] [[SRD:Barbarian|barbarians]]. The resulting offspring are sometimes welcome in places where full orcs are not, valued for their tenacity, courage, and combat prowess. '''Racial Traits:''' Arctic half-orcs have the following racial traits. * +2 [[SRD:Strength|Strength]], –2 [[SRD:Intelligence|Intelligence]], –2 [[SRD:Charisma|Charisma]].<br/>An arctic half-orc’s starting [[SRD:Intelligence|Intelligence]] score is always at least 3. If this adjustment would lower the character’s score to 1 or 2, his score is nevertheless 3. * [[SRD:Humanoid Type|Humanoid]] ([[SRD:Orc Subtype|Orc]]). * [[SRD:Medium|Medium]]: As Medium creatures, arctic half-orcs have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size. * Arctic half-orc [[SRD:Base Land Speed|base land speed]] is 30 feet. * [[SRD:Low-Light Vision|Low-Light Vision]]: An arctic half-orc can see twice as far as a [[SRD:Humans (Race)|human]] in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions of poor illumination. He retains the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions. * Orc Blood: For all effects related to race, an arctic half-orc is considered an [[SRD:Orc|orc]]. * Cold Endurance: Arctic half-orcs have a +4 racial bonus on [[SRD:Fortitude|Fortitude]] saves made to resist the effects of cold weather or exposure. * +2 racial bonus on [[SRD:Diplomacy Skill|Diplomacy]] checks: Arctic half-orcs often serve as emissaries for the arctic orc tribes that spawned them. * [[SRD:Automatic Language|Automatic Languages]]: Common and Orc. [[SRD:Bonus Language|Bonus Languages]]: Draconic, Giant, Gnoll, Goblin, and Abyssal. * [[SRD:Favored Class|Favored Class]]: [[SRD:Barbarian|Barbarian]]. A [[SRD:Multiclass Characters|multiclass]] arctic half-orc’s [[SRD:Barbarian|barbarian]] [[SRD:Class|class]] does not count when determining whether he takes an experience point penalty. * [[SRD:Level Adjustment|Level Adjustment]]: +0. {{UA Races Arctic Footer}} [[Category:Humanoid Type]] [[Category:Orc Subtype]]
