In Reply to: ORCS - Thank you, and a few questions. posted by *ORB* on December 18, 2000 at 14:10:52:
> 1. In some ways I can see why Orc's wouldn't tend to be lawful, but at the same time it seems to me that they have some very lawful tendencies, the best example being the Clan chief. The Clan Chief can be overthrown at any time. From the HELP of Chaotic Evil: The strong have a right to what they want, and weak are there to be exploited. Leadership among CEs is based on power, with the leader capable of bullying his underlings into obedience. That's sort of the theme here. There's no real punishment for disobeying the Chief, other than he and his buddies may just come gang you down. > If the Orcs will follow the rule of a Chief and that of the village Shaman then doesn't that indicate at least some order amongst them? In a short while you will understand why the shaman should be feared. > 2. Will Orc Shamans ever be PC's? It was coded so that a Witch Doctor class could be added later. The class would be different from others in that it would have a much lower level cap, as Orcs really aren't clever enough to advance to the equivalent of a hero in Religious Studies 101. > 3. With the whole Clan chief Thing, just how many clans will there be? Dunno. There are other skills waiting in the wings for Clan on Clan warfare. Obviously there was no point in putting them in before other Clans were an option. I've already named the second Clan if that is any indication of where we might be headed. > 4. Why do you guys Kick so much Phat ass? A special blend of grease, salt, caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol.
