It feels significant to me that none of the non-human races in OD&D can attain "name level" as either fighters or magic-usersTrenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01889179660165006042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4046247285022763255.post-58260855120267373462019-07-25T13:33:24.880-07:002019-07-25T13:33:24.880-07:00Yes I must have seen that too.

About half die of abuse, about half get addicted to the psionic backlash from performing cruelty and inflicting pain.

It’s something like lycanthropy but it befalls a whole community at once. Any particular normal man who lives for some time with orcs will become an orc.
