They are very strong, and quite agile, and are about the size of humans. They learn leatherworking and bonecarving readily, and take quickly to dodging, wrestling, and melee combat. However, orcs learn brewing, gemwork, mining and stone-detailing more slowly than dwarves. Orcs are lacking in most mental attributes and are mediocre students. |

Since they are about 15% again larger than their clansmates, Uruks can wield vicious great-axes and longswords to deadly effect, generally even one handed. They are the only Orc to enter a Martial Trance, making them the core of any horde which hopes to face worthy enemies in melee. |
