Summary of changes:

1) The orc village has a few new features that the sharp-eyed berserker can discover.

2) Orcs have 5 new mid-level skills: Bloodsteep (25), Offhand Grapple (33), Pin (31), Toughness (19), and Warshout (26). Their helpfiles describe them.

3) We've moved several old orc skills to lower levels. Several (especially Fast Healing, which they got later than any class) seemed to come into play a little late. The effected skills:
Fast Healing from 17 to 5.
Dodge from 18 to 16.
Parry from 13 to 6.
Dual Wield from 19 to 15.

4) Hide is now level 14 (from 37), but orcs can only hide in their village then. At level 25 they can start hiding in swamps at night, and at level 37 they can hide in caves.

5) Berserkers suffer less of a skill penalty while Berserking.

6) Orc wimpy is still stuck at 50% at low levels, but gradually gets slightly lower past level 12. (Not too much lower.)
