Half Orc's

steverimmer:
Hi...it's been a long time but at last I have a proper windows computer and am seriously thinking of coming back to the game.I have a question though, whatever happened to the orc's and is it possible to create a half orc character anymore?  

Acacea:
Hey man, Bil left his hat here, yes he did! Half-things of any heritage can only have been born before 1421, which was a reaaaally long time ago in speedy NWN land, so unfortunately half-orcs are no longer viable in that timeline. Even at a more reasonable rate, insert plug for alt timeline here, half-orcs would be getting on.



Full orcs are still around! I believe they are subbable - row would have the last word on that - but since CN and the Evils are restricted, you'd have to sub as TN. Unless you were Az'attan (for good alignment). Hope that is helpful!

steverimmer:
Thanks that is very helpful...just got the game working again so should be making an appearence soon :)

Zark the confused:
I'm just curious I can't seem to find out why there are no more half races, can someone tell me why lore wise or point me to the part in the history nevermind found it, also I do not know why I double post. 

Acacea:
It's not really something that's taught in schools, or anything - people for the most part don't really know and come up with their own explanations. The common knowledge is that there used to be things like half orcs and half elves, and then they just... stopped being born. Families prayed to shrines and all that hoping to be blessed with children, so on the lower level people think they are just unlucky. When zoomed out, it was happening to everyone. I imagine any number of stories have been invented to explain it. One of them is that there was a battle between Aeridin and Corath, though which one is to blame shifts with the telling (this is referenced in the timeline). With Aeridin's stances on "purity" and such though, I think the trend is toward the halt being due to Aeridin cracking down. For more specifics, I suggest you ask in-game!
