Halforc Racial Traits
• +2 Stamina, -2 Spirit. Half-orcs retain the toughness of their orc heritage and are smarter than their orc parents, but are given to rash actions to prove their honor and courage.
• Medium: As Medium creatures, half-orcs have no special bonuses or penalties due to their size.
• Half-orc base land speed is 30 feet.
• Low-Light Vision: Half-orcs can see twice as far as humans in starlight, moonlight, torchlight, and similar conditions of poor illumination. They retain the ability to distinguish color and detail under these conditions.
• Orc Blood: For all special abilities and effects, a half-orc is considered both a human and an orc.
• Furious Strength (Ex): Half-orcs can draw a small amount of rage from their orc legacy. Once per day, on her turn as a free action, a half-orc may gain a +2 bonus to Strength. This bonus lasts for 1 round +1 round per point of Stamina modifier (minimum 1 round).
• +2 racial bonus on saving throws against fear-related spells or effects. Debate continues over whether half-orcs are fearless due to some aspect of their human parentage, or if this trait is simply another way in which they prove that they are the equal of the other races.
• +2 racial bonus on Intimidate and Sense Motive checks. Half-orcs are as intimidating as their orc parents, and have learned to look beyond surface appearances in order to survive. These skills are also class skills for all half-orcs.
• Automatic Languages: Common and Orcish.
• Bonus Languages: Any unrestricted. Half-orcs learn many languages, like their human parents.
• Favored Class: Any. A multiclass half-orc's highestlevel class does not count when determining whether she suffers an XP penalty for multiclassing (see WoW RPG, Chapter 3: Classes, "Multiclass Characters," XP for Multiclass Characters).
Description: During the Second War, the hero Zul'jin organized all the forest troll tribes into one cohesive army and joined the Horde. They left once it was obvious the orcs weren't going to win, but one small sect, the Revantusk tribe, recently agreed to once again be affiliated — loosely — with the Horde.
In contrast to their wily jungle troll cousins, forest trolls are savage and unrelenting creatures. Not only are they cannibals like other trolls, forest trolls live for slaughtering lesser races, especially the high elves, whom they despise. Forest trolls believe that they are superior to every other race on Azeroth, prone to quoting just how powerful their former empire was. In battle, a forest troll throws himself furiously into the thick, and prefers throwing axes over the javelins jungle trolls favor. Everything about the forest troll w o k L D
I Doth'jin stood hidden in the tree, one he \ chose for its perfect vantage point. He knew an | elven convoy was on its way. Gripping his handaxe, he peered through the leaves, waiting for the expected caravan. His limbs were cramped from the hours spent at ready, though he knew he could make them move with speed. Forest trolls were tough.
Creaking wheels sounded, and Doth'jin broke into a hideous grin. He could almost smell the elf's blood beneath him. Bending knees that were stiff from fatigue, he uttered a quick prayer before leaping out of the tree, screaming a battle roar as he descended into glorious battle.
speaks of savagery and undisciplined battle, even during peaceful times. Like the Revantusk tribe is atypical, and is disciplined and even occasionally merciful in battle.
Appearance: Forest trolls resemble their jungle troll cousins but are taller and more muscled Their hair ranges from blood red to midnight black, while their skins are a deep olive green. Forest trolls decorate their bodies with ritual scarring and piercings, and they prefer white or dark warpaints symbolizing their power and glory.
OrhcR FoRest TroIIs Revantusk forest trolls are the most likely to join a party of Horde adventurers; members of other tribes hate the Horde for failing to fulfill its promise to restore the Amani Empire. The Revantusks have learned to accept other races and even trust certain individuals. Among the Horde, only the tauren truly respect the Revantusk tribe. Even their jungle troll cousins cannot bring themselves to accept their vile i^K^cousins yet.
Region: Naturally, forest 1 trolls prefer thick forests, where they come into conflict with the despised high elves, as well as Wildhammer dwarves. The Revantusk tribe resides in the Hinterlands, in the coastal town of Revantusk Village.

Affiliation: Independent. Most forest troll tribes keep to their own agendas, but the Revantusk tribe is now loosely allied with the Horde. While not members of the Horde, they are its friends. They know compassion, though they find it a bit difficult to relate to the Darkspear jungle trolls.
Revantusk forest trolls still carry a racial hatred of elves, and are ever ready to attack the Alliance. They view humans and other Alliance races as elf sympathizers, and gleefully destroy them.
Like all trolls, most forest trolls are savage and violent. While the Revantusks learn restraint and even camaraderie, they haven't entirely thrown off their old ways. Forest trolls of all types war with anything in range of their territory, even other tribes of forest trolls, and thus the Revantusks feel no remorse over slaying their wild brothers.
Faith: Most Revantusk forest trolls follow the precepts of voodoo. While less prone to magic than other subraces, forest trolls still practice alchemical [ arts and worship dark voodoo spirits. Some forest trolls also worship Hakkar the Soulflayer, though jungle trolls outnumber forest trolls in this demography.

• Family Names: Like jungle trolls, forest trolls have no family names.
