About Half-Orcs

Half-Orcs in Community Update #20

Half-Orcs exhibit a blend of orcish and human characteristics, and their appearance varies widely. Creatures of intense emotion, Half-Orcs are more inclined to act than contemplate - whether the rage burning their bodies compels them to fight, or the love filling their hearts inspires acts of incredible kindness.

Racial Features

(Note: these are the presumed racial features as of Previews; they might still be different in the full release of the game.)

• Darkvision: Thanks to your orc blood, you have superior vision in dark and dim conditions. You can see in the dark up to 12 m. ^{[Needs Verification]}
• Menacing: You gain proficiency in the Intimidation skill.^{[Needs Verification]}
• Relentless Endurance: When you are reduced to 0 hit points but not killed outright, you can drop to 1 hit point instead. You can't use this feature again until you finish a long rest.^{[Needs Verification]}
• Savage Attacks: When you score a critical hit with a melee weapon attack, you can roll one of the weapon's damage dice one additional time and add it to the extra damage of the critical hit.^{[Needs Verification]}
