As they are now, it just seems like WotC just gave us what they wanted to do with orcs because for whatever reason they felt like they couldn't just include orcs off the bat. And frankly a "typical" half orc in general feels more out of line than most things. What if your half-orc takes more after their human half than their orc half? Why shouldn't that be possible?

As of now ive seen two pics of the new half orc, the first was very human/elfish looking The second one was in the character creation and it was strong orc looking for sure. I think will be amazed at what will be able to do in creation.

DRAGON FIRE-AND DOOM Dragons? Splendid things, lad-so long as ye look upon them only in tapestries, or in the masks worn at revels, or from about three realms off...
