They are cowardly by nature so it fits their setup. It would incourage orcs to play heavy two handed weapons such as polearms and if you need any mopre persuation, LOTR the two towers.

----Abernyte says PLeeeeeeease!

1) In general, orcs don't get much for defense. Any polearm skills they get will smell more like Pin and less like Distance.

2) Their skills also tend to be more about force than skill or intellect. Charge Set has a lot to do with training and alertness.

3) I wouldn't expect new orc skills for a while. It's like the umpteen "37th Legacy" threads... we'll continue to tweak existing stuff because it's important for balance, but if we move into new territory, other classes have more pressing needs.

Chargeset means you stand firm, polearm planted, ready to take the charge. Cowardly means you drop that frigging big stick with a blade on the end, and run to the back of the line, letting someone else absorb the brunt of an attack.
