Re: New Race thing.

The way that I am currently writing up High Orcs, they won't be fit for
gameplay.  This is due to the fact that they are well known throughout
Geleia as a marauding bunch of land-pillaging, woman-raping barbarians.
They are not accepted in any town but one to my knowledge, and are
basically killed on sight by higher rating people.  If someone wants to
attempt to play one as a pc, they can talk to me and I'll see if they're
up to the challenge.  If not, I'd rather leave them as actors.
