Most orcs like to rush wildly at foes with axes and tear them to pieces, but some prefer polearms for their increased reach. These orcs are called impalers by their kin, and often adorn their chosen weapons with trophies taken from bested enemies. Impalers charge into battle alongside other orcs, supplementing their brutal strength with rudimentary knowledge of martial combat, knocking the blades of attackers aside before striking with their own weapons. |
