Concept Recruitment

I'm trying to make a Half-Orc Tribe.

Race: Half Orc only, possibly in the future we might get some kobold/goblin slaves. Deity: Orc Deities only. Alignment: Non-Good

Other: Don't min/max your build. Females are restricted to using their fists for combat, unless the dominant male allows otherwise.

Post ideas/interests please.

Are there are class restrictions?

No paladin, druid might be hard to play with being in a tribe.

I don't know, a Druid might be passable if you play it as more of a Shaman character. Someone who speaks to Orcish spirits/ancestors and has a connection with the land.

A Half-Orc Druid of Talona who also strongly worships Yurtrus could possibly work. Being a half-orc it would demonstrate that he/she is straddled between the two races.

A Half-Orc Druid who has Talona/Malar/Talos as a patron and also pays strong homage too Bahgtru/Gruumsh/Luthic/Yurtrus is "workable" depending on the character, imo.

I could certainly see a female Half-Orc "Shaman" who worships Talona, Luthic and Yurtrus. It should be kept in mind that druids aren't clerics and aren't forced to follow the dogma. Their main focus is upon nature and generally their deities domain within it. In a smaller tribe I can see such a character having considerable power and sway, perhaps even being feared to a degree even though she is a female.

She'd be more of a spiritual guide than anything else. Her responsibilities would include pleasing the gods and the spirits, passing down oral traditions of the tribe, acting as a midwife, acting as someone who presides over funerals, contains vast knowledge of herbs, fungi, and safe locations within the Underdark, speaks to the spiritual ancestors of the tribe, and is generally responsible for passing down knowledge from one generation to the next.

The character would likely take a backseat in a tribe that is dominated by Gruumsh Clerics, and may even be forced out due to competition. However, such a character would also have methods of dealing with enemies - which would make her feared - through both mundane and mystical means. Wasting diseases, poisons, and hexes upon those who would harm the tribe would be her standard fair for dealing with enemies both inside and outside of the tribe. This would likely generate fear and respect for her, which would be unusual for a female.

I have a RuneClaw (Cleric/Monk) Femal Half-Orc.

We had a druid half-orc of malar, he played well with the tribe.
