To do so, the orc must see the attacker and be wielding a melee weapon.

On a very rare occasion, an orc is born with exceptional intelligence and wisdom, at least in orc standards. These orcs provide an invaluable resource to their tribe by becoming the "thinking one", planning the raids and commanding their kin in the heist. But more often, an orc savant is despised by its kin for "being a smart-ass", and decides to abandon its kind to join others that it can have a decent talk or two. Many adventurers are surprised to find a piece of poetry completely written in eloquent Orc. Unless this poetry is written by an eccentric sage who takes great interest in the Orc language, this is solid proof of an orc savant dwelling in the tribe.
