Half-Orc

:"Half-orcs are distrusted by both human and orc cultures because they remind each of the other's racial stock. Half-orcs advance in orc culture by flaunting their superior ability and in human culture by associating with people who don't care about appearance." - 2 Edition Monstrous Manual
__TOC__
Half Orcs are accepted into the tribes of Orcs but are known to be ostracised or even victimised by their full orc brethren. In this setting Orcs are taller and stronger than humans, so half-orcs are smaller than full Orcs and have to fight to survive inside Orc society.
Half Orcs are also accepted entry into the town & cities of humanity, unlike full Orcs. However, in "civilisation" they are eyed with suspicion.
Half-Orcs, like most hybrid-species, generally are infertile, with some rare exceptions.
