In most things i've disagreed with ArChaos but here i think that their right. My orc got his tush kicked from one side of thera to the other, i'll admit i made a few enemies at the lower levels but when i reached level 28 i was whooped by a naked and i mean naked (he wasnt wearing anything at all) lvl 24 assassin, my gear was good, and i'm quite experienced yet there was nothing i could do, i ran and made my escape back to the skull village but hey even orcs shouldn't be that cowardly, i haven't played them for a few months so this may be out of date but it seemed that as they had no parry or dodge they were just cannon fodder, this is ok if you are 10 or so fighting 2 or 3 as it is in every major book ever written, only problem is orcs are a rare species in Thera not a swarm or a horde and as such they get toasted regularly.

Maybe giveing them an xp break or giving the lower levels a skill similar to the summon the clan so they can take in a goblin or something (although i get the impression this may be hard to implement) but i thought in the essence of orcs they bullied anyone lower than them so why not that as a level 11 skill, *shrug* its a suggestion.
