Description:
	Orcs will crossbreed with virtually every humanoid and demi-human spe-
	cies except elves with whom they cannot. The mongrel offspring of orcs
	and these other speices are known as half-orcs. Orc-goblins, orc-hob-
	goblins, and orc-humans are the most common. Half-orcs tend to favour
	the orcish strain heavily, although 10% of these offspring can pass as
	ugly humans.

Habitat/Society:
	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. Most tend
	toward neutrality with slight lawful and evil tendencies, but lawful
	good good half-orcs are not unknown. Some half-orcs have split from
	both cultures to form their own societies in remote areas. These half-
	orcs worship their own gods and (like most hermits) are extremely sus-
	picous of strangers.
