    Default Half orc look revamp

    Sooo... after half-elves have been updated to look less psychopathic, can we perhaps get a revamped skin for half orcs? Currently they look like humanized pigs or pigified humans. I mean they should look more like orcs.

    I like my half orc chick just fine. If any race needs a face/bodylift right this minute its PDK. Dwarves could use a lot of work too. But they did absolutely amazing work with half-elves.

    well they do, at least DnD orcs. If you read their description "Orcs are savage humanoids with stooped postures, piggish faces, and prominent teeth that resemble tusks."

    This is DnD not WOW or Warhammer. The Orcs in DnD are supposed to look piggish.
    “Bad men need nothing more to compass their ends, than that good men should look on and do nothing. He is not a good man who, without a protest, allows wrong to be committed in his name, and with the means which he helps to supply, because he will not trouble himself to use his mind on the subject.”

    I'm in agreement with Aelonwy here.

    PDK was the one that really went sideways here. Half-Orcs was somewhat expected for their particular look. But the PDK body was all sorts of wrong.

    But rather than eliminating the access to the Larger Body (I managed to find a use for the PDK female through a cosplay setup to sort of match Cara Dune / Gina Carano so it's not completely useless), I'd want a choice between the "now typical" PDK body size, and the usual "Human" body size.

    Half-Elves went from a strange looking burnt/plastic looking face, so a normal face. So there's form there for improvement on SSG side for races. Just need to wait to get to them.

    I've always said the PDKs look sort of like Garbage Pail Kids... I realize this ages me but, meh, I have kids I'm not vain about my age. Half-elves used to make me think of the plastic surgeon villain from Escape from LA, they looked like they needed the docs on Botched to fix them.

    Now, in an ideal game, body-type would be a selector in character creation... maybe you want to be a muscle bound tiefling to look like Hellboy or... maybe you want the athletic build of a scholar and stiff winds are hazardous... maybe you'd want to be a fat jolly gnome... or extra curvaceous tiefling for your Malicia impersonator.

    But... we have what we have. I do wish we had more skin tone choices or rather more vibrant examples of what we do have. There is an almost green, olive skin tone for half orcs but I'd like a greener one. There's also a washed out red but I'd like one more punchy. I've done my best to make my tiefling enchantress hot-pink but my best is more orchid or dark lavender. And don't get me started on my disappointment with Aasimar skin tones or unique hairstyles.

    I don't want to play a race that skips Leg Day. Leg Day is as important as the other days.

    Agreed

    Pigified humans is not enough. They need to go full on Gamorrean

    Female half-orcs look great. Male... not so much. But not so bad that there’s need to push updates.

    And I agree re: dwarves and PDK.

    or

    Half the people seem to think orcs are 2 legged pigs, the other half seem to think they related to the hulk.

    Please DO NOT change the look of my PDK devs, thank you.
