So I’m going to be DMing a starter campaign for my bother and maybe an acquaintance or two, and my brother asked me for that crossbreeding chart I posted awhile back.
Not a regular half-orc. Half orc and half OGRE.
So, that’s a +3 Str, +2 Con, and -2 Int
Then my dumbass gave him the choice between Aggressive or Relentless Endurance, and Powerful Build or Savage Attacks. He took Aggressive and Powerful Build. Naturally, he put his 17 toward Str to max it out at level one. Then, he makes Char his dump stat (6, four 2s) either despite or because he was proficient in Intimidation.
To be fair, his character’s background is Caravan Specialist, so he’s basically a fantasy trucker. A neutral evil, half-orc-half-ogre, tetralingual, fantasy trucker with anger issues and a vendetta against bandits. Bjarne, BTW. The character’s name is Bjarne.
We’re probably going to go over this again tomorrow afternoon once he’s more awake. Here’s hoping I don’t make any terrible decisions.
