    Blah, to dwarf like..almost identical actually. Infact if a warforge and a dwarf did the nasty, what you just proposed would be the offspring.

    Where do you get warforged from? If you're refering to the Iron, Steel, and Mithril Companions, then you must be oblivious to the fact that all races have access to those.

    The axe thing is simplely that half-orcs with the martial proficiency have access to the exotic weapon orc double axe.

    Toughness because the half-orc favored class is barbarian which also receives toughness.

    The Search enhancement because that is what the dragonmark feat that half-orcs get gives them.

    So if it seems too dwarf-like blame the campaign setting for making the skill bonus the same as for the dwarves. Also blame WOTC for giving them an exotic weapon that is a type of axe.

    The power attack enhancements- wf have them. This is basically a dwarf with str instead of con, and power attack instead of tactics. And probably have druid/ranger sp similar to a dwarf's cleric/paladin sp.

    The power attack is another item from barbarian which is the half-orc favored class.

    LOL, but I was pointing it out regarding the wf/dwarf crossbreed comment.

    1/2Orcs can read, unless they're barbarians, just like any other race. They're just stupider.

    Sorry, but my point was that half-orcs arn't WF. The items I included were based on their own race related abilities and favored class of barbarian.

    So is the WF comment because of 2 items are in common? One of which, the companion, all races have access to.
