Are Purple Dragon Knights Half-Orcs?

[Gishou]

And if they are not Half-Orcs why do they look like them?

[Death_Mystic]

I do believe they are human without xtra feat and skills. Their racial tree is humans but the dragonmark line is removed and PDK items inserted.

[esheep]

They are humans as best as I can tell and had access to all 4 or whatever dragon marks if you try to level them up in the dojo -- however they've already said dragonmarks are not intended.

The PDK is a Human character without the extra feat slot (though skill points bonus seems to be there), and human enhacements (besides dragonmarks tree ofcourse), but have a half-orc size and some mix of human and half-orc appearances. Hope this helps, cheers.

They avoid the Enchanted Ghallanda Rations. As House Ghallanda is a halfling dragonmarked house, Ghallanda rations are small portions enchanted to seem filling even when they aren't, that and they come from Eberron.

Purple Dragon Knights, being on a different world than Ghallanda and also being the officers and warrior elite of the Cormyrian Army are fed a solid diet of Roast Boar Shank and Smoke-Cured Ham, I swear!

They only look like half-orcs because we're used to seeing underfed humans starved from a non-stop diet of enchanted halfling sized portions of travel rations.

Then why do some of the npcs look normal sized for humans as we know them?

I think they are supposed to be Humans, but they have the Body proportions of a Half Orc or a Tall Dwarf.

Actually they are the result of some necromancer insane experimentation on crossbreeding half-orcs with dwarfs.

They're obviously addicted to Druid Goodberries, more magical nourishment that can't stack up against a solid meal like Grilled Turkey Leg with a solid mug of well brewed Apple Cider!

[Gishou]

Then why can the ones we make not have a berry addiction?
