    Default Half Orc only!

    I have been running all half-orc parties, and they have been a blast!

    Seems like the ususal suspects reply to my LFM's and enjoy the orc smash & bash we get into. There is just something invigorating about an all half-orc party. Usually 4-5 axe and swords next to the character's names.

    Sometimes we run with a heal-slave (hireling).

    What's funny is the non-orc reactions to the lfm from "please let me in I an awesome DPS-er" to "YOU'LL never make it without a WIZARD!" said the wizard.

    I saw a post recently where someone said they got to level 12 without needing a cleric...I am 12 now with my half-orc...we will have to just wait and see!

    It's a surprisingly good time. It's also a great way to remind yourself of which quests have INT runes - for instance, Tempest's Spine.

    lol cleric? you can make it to 20 without needing a cleric. only quest in game i like one (still not needed) is GoP and the requisite litany flagging attached to it. of course i 2-box a caster and melee and 1-7/8 i solo with the melee with pots and 7/8+ i solo with the caster and firewall, works just fine, especially if the caster is wf (which always is), dont need no stinking cleric!!!

    Pfft.
    Did GoP a couple times without a cleric.

    You don't even need that. Just some UMD, which isn't really that difficult even for a -2 cha character.

    exactly, and leveling is easier solo than grouped anyways, so unless you are a cleric...

    good ol dungeon scaling, even on elite being in there solo is better than being in there with 2+ people as solo the mobs hit for 5-10 dmg and really only have more hp/saves, elite favor farming made easy!

    Clerics! My first half-orc is a cleric. Being able to start Str/Wis at 20/16 or 18/18 with no Con sacrifice on 32pt is awfully tasty. No other race can boast that.

    Dungeon scaling affects elite difficulty?

    Question Inquiries & Comments

    I have been running 13 levels of all Half-Orc parties and it has been a blast.

    Alot of players "get it"...many do not.

    I usually receive several comments a day in regards to my "Half-orc Only" postings.

    Sometimes its just a question: "Why do you run all Half-Orc parties?"
    Someone asked "What do you get with running a party of all half-orcs?"
    I replied " I get a party of all half-orcs."

    Many times its disparaging like " You'll never get a caster!" or "Have fun buying pots!"

    I even got cursed-out for it!

    I am a huge fan of the race and the idea of playing a monster character!
    Its great to, to look around at the wide variety of half-orcs outthere. It also allows me to meet and get to know the other orc-players on the server.

    As I menitoned in a previous posts, and as several of you know, the Half-Orcs absolutely lay-down & destroy everything they meet. Quests traditionally done with well balanced parties have been completed a mear handful of orcs!

    So long-live the ORC!

    Drow were a monster race before Eberron slapped them around put a Chaotic Good sticker on their back and put up a "scimitars, cheap" sign at the weapon vendor.
