Book Description

The vile, hated orcs are the most common, evil, humanoid race of the Pathfinder world, the sword-fodder of countless celebrated heroes and daring adventurers. But they're also among the most populous civilized creatures on the planet, and their centuries-spanning conflicts with dwarves, elves, and humans form the pages upon which the history of mankind is written in blood. Pathfinder Companion: Orcs of Golarion provides Pathfinder RPG players everything they need to fight -- or play -- orc and half-orc characters, bringing this shadowy race to the savage forefront! Learn the secret history of this brutish race, from their first emergence from the Darklands into the sunlit world to the latest reports from the orcish realm of Belkzen and other important orc strongholds. Discover the physical and mental qualities of orcs and their half-breed kin, explore their unusual culture, and choose an appropriate campaign trait for your orc or orc-slaying player character. With extensive notes on orc religion and worship practices, orc tribal magic, and orc weapons, combat tactics, and rage powers, this Pathfinder Companion is an absolute necessity for any who would battle orcish evil -- or revel in it!
