Strong, ferocious, tribally bonded warriors with a long martial tradition and an equally long history of being misjudged by the cultures around them. Modern orcish clans range from frontier raiders to chartered mercenary houses to professional citizens of every major power.

Features

  • Aggressive

    Once per combat encounter, as a bonus action, you may move up to your speed toward a hostile creature you can see or hear. You must end this movement closer to that creature than you began it.

  • Powerful Build

    You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push, drag, or lift. You have advantage on Strength-based checks made to grapple or shove a creature one size larger than you.

  • Menacing Presence

    You have proficiency in Charisma (Intimidation). When you make an Intimidation check against a creature smaller than you that does not have the Brave or equivalent feature, you have advantage on the check.

  • Clan-Tongue

    You can read, write, and speak Orcish (a guttural, declarative cant with regional dialects) and Common.
