Locklar warily looked at the tusked creatures among the group of approaching goblinoids.
“Is it just me,” he asked as he readied for battle, “or are those some of the biggest, ugliest orcs you’ve ever seen?”
Razorback Orc
No. Enc.: 1d8 (1d6)
Alignment: Chaotic
Movement: 120′ (40′)
Armor Class: 5 [14]
Hit Dice: 2
Attacks: 1
Damage: 1d8
Save: F2
Morale: 9
Hoard Class: nilRazorback orcs are huge tusked orcs with tough, hairy hides. On a to-hit roll of ’20′ a razorback orc gores for an additional 1d6 of damage. They are quite stupid (even for orcs), do not ever use weapons, and are often kept by regular orcs as heavy muscle.
d8 damage unarmed! Yowza!
Gnolls (also 2HD) do 2d4, so this seemed right. Normal orcs do 1d6, and these guys are bigger, tougher, and stronger.
Nice! I will be tossing a few of these lads into the fray next time.
Thanks. I see them on chains with a couple of orc “handlers” struggling to keep them under control.
Maybe upping the number of regular orcs slightly and allowing these thugs a 20% chance to attack orcs instead of the designated targets might spice things up a bit. That’s how I plan to use them.
Although these clearly go well with subscribers to the “pig faced orcs” school of thought.
