Orcs are a very common monster in the Netherworld. They live in large families and societies with a strict caste system, making them follow orders without recourse; this can extend to non-Orcs, assuming the individual has somehow earned their respect. Despite their small size, Orcs are hot-blooded, proud, and possess great strength; they wield clubs nearly the size of their own body and can juggle opponents much larger than themselves with ease.
Being easily manipulated, Orcs are often hired by overlords and are called upon generally as foot soldiers and cannon fodder. Despite this, their population is still impressive. Orcs are often referred to as ‘Petite Orcs’, which they dislike; they are also well-known to be notorious perverts.

Alignment: Orcs are oftentimes chaotic due to their impulsive nature, however many still follow laws and government systems opting for more normal lives.

Monster Weapon Proficiency (Ex) Orcs are proficient and can only wield physical monster weapons, unless they have reincarnated from a previous body that had the ability to wield other weapons. An Orc’s weapon always appears as a huge spiked Mace that deals 1d8 damage, or the damage listed under the monster weapon, whichever is higher.
Magichange (Ex) As a free action, an Orc can change into a Heavy Mace or a powerful Bastard Sword. The Magichange lasts as many rounds as the Orc’s Constitution Modifier, and when it ends, the creature returns to it's former self but is considered exhausted. It takes a move action to reload the gun, and can be reloaded rapidly. The wielder must be unarmed and able to hold the weapon when the Orc transforms.

Techniques (Su) Just like all classes, Orcs gain access to special techniques they can utilize to aid them in battle or day to day activities. At each level they gain 1 technique of any level they can perform.
At the levels designated, Orcs also gain special Monster Techniques they can utilize to get an edge over their opponents. An Orc Learns a monster technique at 3rd, 6th, 9th, 12th, 15th, 18th, and 20th level. These Techniques can be chosen from the Orc's list of techniques highlighted with two (**).
The Orc must be able to perform techniques of the technique's level to learn it. There are many cases where a creature may not have enough techniques to take whenever it gains a new monster technique, Whenever this is the case, choose instead a normal technique. An Orc's relevant modifier is Strength.
Ability Boost Creatures gain Ability buffs at levels 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14. The Ability boost is determined by what kind of creature it is.
Orcs gain bonuses to their Strength, Dexterity, and Con.
Natural armor (Ex) Orcs gain Natural armor at the levels indicated on the table above.
Damage Reduction (Ex) Orcs Gain Damage Reduction overcome by nothing as indicated on the table above.
Ferocity (Ex)
An orc remains conscious and can continue fighting even if its hit point total is below 0. It is still staggered and loses 1 hit point each round. A creature with ferocity still dies when its hit point total reaches a negative amount equal to its Constitution score. At 8th level, The Orc no longer loses 1 hit point each round, and is not staggered when at negative hit points. In addition the Orc must reach 2 times it’s constitution score to die. At 12th level, The Orc doesn’t die until it reaches 3 times it’s constitution score. While in this state the Orc gains a bonus to attack rolls, damage rolls, and will saving throws equal to ½ it’s level.
Rage (Ex) An Orc can call upon inner reserves of strength and ferocity, granting her additional combat prowess. Starting at 1st level, an Orc can rage for a number of rounds per day equal to 4 + her Constitution modifier. At each level after 1st, she can rage for 2 additional rounds. Temporary increases to Constitution, such as those gained from rage and spells like bear's endurance, do not increase the total number of rounds that an Orc can rage per day. An Orc can enter rage as a free action. The total number of rounds of rage per day is renewed after resting for 8 hours, although these hours do not need to be consecutive.
While in rage, an Orc gains a +4 morale bonus to her Strength and Constitution, as well as a +2 morale bonus on Will saves. In addition, she takes a –2 penalty to Armor Class. The increase to Constitution grants the Orc 2 hit points per Hit Dice, but these disappear when the rage ends and are not lost first like temporary hit points. While in rage, an Orc cannot use any Charisma-, Dexterity-, or Intelligence-based skills (except Acrobatics, Fly, Intimidate, and Ride) or any ability that requires patience or concentration.
An Orc can end her rage as a free action and is fatigued after rage for a number of rounds equal to 2 times the number of rounds spent in the rage. An Orc cannot enter a new rage while fatigued or exhausted but can otherwise enter rage multiple times during a single encounter or combat. If an Orc falls unconscious, her rage immediately ends, placing her in peril of death.
Rage Powers
At 2nd level, and at levels 6, 10, and 14, the Orc gains rage powers as if it were a Barbarian of it’s Orc level. This grants the Orc special capabilities while raging. A list of Rage Powers can be found here. Rage Powers
Bonus Feats
At 4th level and every 3 levels afterwards, Orcs gain a bonus feat. These feats can be chosen from the list of Combat feats, or it can be any Orc monster feat or Orc racial feat. An orc counts as a fighter for purposes of qualifying for feats.
Fearless (Ex) At 9th level, Orcs become immune to all fear effects. Whenever the Orc would be effected by a fear effect, it can choose to make an intimidate check on the creature that attempted to cause it.
Sensitivity immunity (Ex) At 11th level the Orc loses it's light sensitivity and it's darkvision increases by 30 feet.
Greater Rage (Ex) At 11th level, when an Orc enters rage, the morale bonus to her Strength and Constitution increases to +6 and the morale bonus on her Will saves increases to +3.
Inheritance Destruction (Ex) At level 15, Orcs deal an additional +1 damage per dice for all techniques.
Tireless Rage (Ex) Starting at 17th level, an Orc no longer becomes fatigued at the end of her rage.
Shadow Orc (Ex) At 20th level an Orc becomes a champion of battle, it's tiny form seeming immense amongst other soldiers as it smashes through everyone. Once per day as a standard action, the Orc can enter a shadowy state of pure battle. While in this form their damage reduction is increased by 10 and becomes overcome by nothing. The Orc gains a +4 Circumstance bonus to Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution and a +2 bonus to armor class as well as fast healing 5. If the orc uses rage in this form, unlike usual, the Orc can still make normal decisions and takes no penalty to armor class as they have reached a level of such battle clarity that they are at peace. The orc gains a +10 bonus to move speed, and counts as an additional creature for the purpose of evilities that grant bonuses based on the number of orcs there are. Once per transformation, the orc can choose to ignore all damage reduction for a single round. This lasts 1 round per level.
