Title: New Class
Post by AlliedAssault on 02/18/03 at 15:59:06
I was looking over the the classes that we have now and they all seem good, but i noticed something. Theres an elf and a half-elf. Since there is a half-orc I was thinking that maybe we should create just an orc class. orcs are powerful but have limited movement so their stats could be something like 21,15,17,22,15,15. This could compensate for their strength and dexterity. The wisdom is low because as we see ingame orcs are very much so mage bait. Just a thought.

Classes are not created to suit your pk'ing needs. Orcs in general are just plain stupid therefore the low wis. If you really want an orc class, look at the name of the class "half-orc". Basically saying that it is half-orc and half-human(most likely). True orc stats would be terrible and nobody would play them. Something around 24 12 13 24 11 13. Even bigger and stupider than half-orcs. I just don't think it would be a worthwhile class if ever made.

i see what your saying newb but you gotta look at it from this vantage point. I have played other games similar to nightmist. the all have a orc class who is strong,has a lot of hp,and hit most often(using blunt weapons i.e. axe). The knowledge of saying it would be dumb would be wrong. i dont know about you but id much rather have a perf elf then half-elf. Orcs arent all to bad.If u have the knowledge to think around the bubble you will understand what i am saying. Anyways just a thought.

The reason in the race being called 'half-orc' is because it has some of the intelect as a human. It woudld be nearly impossible to create a race that is so primitive and not be played that way. Since no one in the game actually role-plays, whats the point. A true orc is also classified as an 'evil' race and would therefore be catagorized as 'bad guy'. Basicaly calling hte race half-orc instead of jsut plain old orc allows for the race to be played with soem intelligence and the ability to choose to be 'good'. that is the reason that it is called half-orc.

Orcs are branded as evil and are shunned from society. Beside's they lack the manners or intellect to abide to the strict laws and suchlike of humankind.

Half-Orcs can JUST about get along :)

Hehe with 6 intel my half orc is pretty dumb. But I roleplay him as also half elf so he can be a good guy still.

We'll we over all dont need an Orc race, such as Newb said it would be a waste of time. Such low stats except for Strength and Constitution are not even worth being played. I find the half-orc race useless as well.

Bit of an old post to drag back up.. Just let it slip into the back of the forum.

Your first statement was innacurate. why should an orc get less stght than an half-orc? Just like half-elves, they are a mix between Human and Elf, getting a stat mix between Human and Elf.

And Pandi reinforced the point that Orcs are not friendly.

(How could a human and a orc... That was one ugly human  :D)

You can't attack people here, the guards are everywhere!

An Orc would just hit everybody and wouldnt be bothered by guards  ;D

If these guards are so powerful that they can stop legendary people from attacking in cities, then what the hell are they doing working as guards?! They should be out in the desert killing sand spiders with one hit and becoming rich rich people.

ok, just drop this stupid thread, i mean come on people. There will never be an orc race.

And btw i dont think anyone "really" roleplays in any roleplaying games

This is a good idea...but it would make beserkers unstopable...it would take all the fun out of the game because the only thing people would want is zerkers.Zerkers are also supposed to be big and dumb... thats why they have low wis/intel
