Hosts I-Hsien and Shane discuss the most savage of D&D’s core races, the Half-Orc. In the Mourning Glory campaign, the party prepares to settle an old score, and the Drunken Master ties one on in the Character Creation Forge. (58m)
Update:
In this episode, we incorrectly discuss the Half-Orc receiving a +1 bonus to Dexterity in D&D 5E. This is wrong; Half-Orcs get +1 to Constitution. Just ignore that bit of the discussion, or laugh at us for being idiots, or both. Thank you to our listeners who pointed out that mistake.
