Oruk
- +6 Strength, +4 Constitution, -2 Dexterity, -2 Wisdom, -2 Charisma: Oruk are strong and tough, but also clumsy and awkward.
- Large: As Large creatures, oruk have a -1 size modifier to Armor Class, a -1 size modifier on attack rolls, and a -4 modifier on Hide checks. They can use larger weapons than humans use, and their lifting and carrying limits are double those of Medium-size characters.
- Extended Reach: An oruk’s reach is 10 feet.
- Oruk base speed is 30 feet.
- Darkvision up to 60 feet.
- Orc/Ogre Blood: For all special abilities and effects, an oruk is considered an orc or an ogre. Oruk, for example, can use special orc weapons or magic items with racially specific orc powers as if they were orcs. The same holds true for items with racially specific ogre powers.
- Inefficient Lungs: Due to their rigid bone structure and inflexible skin, the lungs of oruk are much less efficient than other humanoids. Unlike other creatures, an oruk can only hold his breath for a number of rounds equal to his Constitution score. In addition, oruk lungs are not as effective in absorbing oxygen from the air. Oruk characters suffer a -6 racial penalty to Fortitude saves in conditions of low oxygen or those resulting from altitude sickness. Their inefficient lungs and slow metabolism make oruk more vulnerable to attacks conveyed through gas, including stinking cloud, cloudkill, and poisonous gas. Oruk suffer a -4 racial penalty to saves against gas-based effects and attacks.
- Unusual Body Type: Because of their uncommon size, oruk seldomly find clothing or armor that will fit them. Typically, they must have such items made. Because they are a Large humanoid race, such items cost two times as much as normal, and are twice as heavy.
- Automatic Languages: Giant. Bonus Languages: Common, Draconic, Goblin and Orc. Oruk have difficulty with other languages and although they can understand and read all the bonus languages they know, they cannot speak them without spending skill points.
- Favored Class: Fighter. A multiclass oruk’s fighter class does not count when determining whether or not there is an XP penalty for multiclassing (see PHB, Chapter 3, Experience for Multiclass Characters). Although they can be ferocious and aggressive, oruk tend to be more disciplined than their orcish and ogre ancestors.
