Removing the -2 INT on Half Orcs
Posted: Tue Sep 22, 2020 5:46 pm
After speaking with the discord community, they suggested I make a post here 
When comparing the base races on Arelith, all other base races start with a +2 and a -2, where the half-orc starts with an extra -2 stat.
In addition, the stats and skills it does have push the half Orc down a very specific build which I don't think is right for any race.
I believe that half-orcs are an (unfortunately) very overlooked race because of these additional penalties and are picked very rarely.
In fact, most build guides don't even suggest half-orc for the builds they should be tailored for as they are outclassed by other races entirely.
Variety keeps things interesting and this change could make the world far more diverse.
