Generic non-culturally inspired orcs for the Broken Lands

by night_druid

Here's a couple of ideas I posted earlier if you want some generic, non-culturally inspired orcs:

Red Orcs become the Bloody Hand Tribe. They have a ritual where one of their number, a warrior, is sacrificed, the blood drained into a ceremonial bowl. The shaman then dips his hand into the blood and marks the face or shield with a bloody palm-print, which they believe grants them a warrior's courage. Game Effect - +1 bonus to all morale checks.

Yellow Orcs become the Yellowback Rattler Tribe. Named for a type of rattlesnake living in their territory, which they use to make leather armor, and they milk the snake's venom to coat their spears with. Game Effect - their spears have a poison effect for the first 1d4 attacks made with it.
