Bestiary - Orcs

Art taken from Warhammer Armies
and used without permission
Orcs were not conquered and forced into the horde, they joyfully joined for the chance to kill and maim and in general be horrible. They form the backbone of the Hordes armies being large and semi-smart they make good troops. Their horribleness is not limited to attacks on Elves and Dwarves and such, they'll gladly bully Goblins or smaller Orcs if given the chance, a trait that is generally tolerated.

Physically they are green skinned beasts with short pointed ears and tiny noses. An adult orc is roughly 6 feet tall and 210 pounds. They are also prone to mutations (see mutation table).

Orc members of the Horde are Chaos Worshipers (see Chaos Gods table).

Ideal
1
To see my enemies driven before me and to hear the lamentation of their women!
2
Destruction of all Elves and Dwarves!
3
Defend the Orc Nation from Elves and Dwarven aggression!
4
Might is right, and the Horde is mighty!
5
Power. I could run things better and I'll do what I can to prove it.
6
Tear down the old to make room for the new!

1d6
Bond
1
My loyalty is to the Warboss. I'll do whatever commanded... within reason.
2
My life is dedicated to my Chaos Lord, I'll do as the Shamans says even if it goes against the Warboss's wishes.
3
The Orc nation is the most important thing. I want to be be powerful when I return so I can slaughter enemies and take command of a clan.
4
I hate Dark Elves and their endless, pointless war. Of course I'd never say so out loud but that's the way I feel.
5
The Ogres have rarely beat me and I'll side with over my own if forced to make a choice.
6
Treasure, treasure equals security and that's the one thing missing in the Warband.

1d6
Flaw
1
Dislike Dark Elves and I'd probalby knife one if i could get away with it.
2
Never been able to read anything or even count without using my fingers, and when I lost a finger even that became confusing.
3
Can't swim, don't care.
4
Don't really hate the Elves or Dwarves even though they keep saying I'm supposed to. I do what I'm told but there is no real hate there.
5
Really hate the traitorous Half-orcs who joined our enemies. I'll gladly kill any I meet.
6
Meet gives me bowel issues and I really prefer bread and fruits. Other Orcs give me grief over it but my squad is happy to trade rations so it works out.

2

5Es Tiers of Play

 I liked the idea of Tiers of play in theory, but my game just went to the 2nd tier and I didn't really like the way 5E handled it. I...
