Physical Description
Orcs vary in appearance, based on region and subrace, but all share certain physical qualities. Orcs of all kinds usually have green skin, coarse hair, stooped postures, low foreheads, large muscular bodies, and porcine faces that feature lower canines that resemble boar tusks. They are often brutish and hefty creatures, standing between six to eight feet tall.
The Orc language is hard on the humanoid mouth and consists of heavy, harsh vowels and sharp consonants. Those who are unfamiliar with Orcish may hear it and think that the Orc speaking it may be furious. However, this is simply how an Orc speaks.
Orcs prefer simple hides for common clothing but heavy, traditional Orcish craft armor is often preferred over other meager armors like human plate. The larger the pauldrons, the better.
