Talk:Orcs, Feral (3.5e Race)

The stats alone are FAR too much for an ECL+0 race...
STR+12, CON+10, DEX+4 that's an instant +3 level boost to everything barbarian... with the only penalties being int, wis and cha...
Then there's the abilities...--Snafusam (talk) 20:42, 13 February 2014 (MST)

I estimate:

+2 +0.8 for natural armour

+0.5 for fast healing

+0.1 for 50' speed

+0.2 powerful build

+0.2 battle rage

+0.2 battle passion

+1.2 Str, Con, Dex

-0.5 Int, Wis, Cha

+0.2 very high Str

Giving an LA of +5.5 (rounded down to +5) = +2.6

Confusingly, it says it has 3 feats from racial HD, but doesn't mention the racial HD anywhere. But it would be 6 HD. This would add +3.6, bringing it up to LA +9.

Okay, looking at the history, an anonymous user made an edit to thoughtlessly boost some stats. I reverted it and have re-estimated the LA to be +2. Marasmusine (talk) 00:43, 14 February 2014 (MST)

Genders

I understand the Orks to be genderless as they reproduce via spores and plot conveniences. Shouldn't the vital stats reflect that?--GD-Psycho (talk) 00:31, 8 September 2015 (MDT)

I don't know, brosetta. When I made the Feral Orks, they were a single gender; all "male". But, like you said, they're all essentially genderless; Orks ain't interested in much 'cept fighting after all and they reproduce via spores. It makes little sense for them to actually to have multiple genders, never mind sexual dimorphism. --TK-Cubed (talk) 15:35, 8 September 2015 (MDT)

Name

So, as the original author of this piece who forgot that they wrote most of it, I wasn't surprised by the change of the the Level Adjustment or whatever because I forgot what I originally wrote and actually doing a comparison to what it is now and what it was when I wrote at the start would be just a bit too much. I don't care much about anyone changing it and trying to make it better or trying to make it fit in their own definition of "balance".

Nah, imagine my surprise when some busybody broseph came along and changed the name from Ork to Orc. This is just heinous, bruh. I'm calling you out Rogue Luffy. They're Feral Orks, not Feral Orcs. The 'k' wasn't a mistake; changing the stats and all is cool and dandy, but messin' up my name?

Why you got to step on me like that~? --TK-Cubed (talk) 15:31, 8 September 2015 (MDT)

Creature

Alright, I've seen lots of stuff happening around this and I gotta reiterate something an admin said. These things are too much like creatures and too less of an actual character option.
