Orclings (5e Race)

Orclings

"You're a lot smaller than all the half-orcs I've come across."

"Well, my dad was a halfling you see."

"Yeah... that. How did that..."

"Mom was adventurous, Dad was lucky."

"How strange."

Physical Description

Orclings look to be a halfling sized half-orc. They are not as strong as their Half-Orc cousins, but more dexterous, and vice versa for their halfling cousins.

History

How this race came to be isn't quite known, but we can assume it's similar to the age old tale of the bard and the dragon.

Society

Although they are not exactly a common race, they are very much outcasts within whichever community they reside in.

Orcling Names

Orclings tend to have either halfling or half-orc names depending on the community they grew up in.
