Homebrew:Orog

(OOC: This is an implementation of the orog race from Tasha's Crucible of Everything Else volume 2)

This is a variant of the Orc race found in Volo's Guide to Monsters, Eberron: Rising from the Last War, and other official Wizards of the Coast products.

Blessed By the Cave Mother

Even larger than their orcish cousins, orogs are said to be blessed by Luthic herself with greater strength and intelligence, destined to become hardy warrior-leaders. Orogs are accustomed to being shown deference by the other members of their tribes, and their whims are given nearly as much heed as the war chief's own orders.

Away From the Tribe

Orogs who leave their orcish tribes (and the influence of the evil deities that rule them) most often find work as elite mercenaries or bodyguards. They often find that the other races underestimate their cleverness, thinking them only to be large brutes - and that gives the orogs an advantage that is sure to be as enlightening as it is surprising.
