The vile, hated orcs are the most common evil humanoid race of the Pathfinder world, the sword-fodder of countless celebrated heroes and daring adventurers. But they’re also among the most populous civilized creatures on the planet, and their centuries-spanning conflicts with dwarves, elves, and humans form the pages upon which the history of mankind is written in blood. Pathfinder Companion: Orcs of Golarion provides Pathfinder RPG players everything they need to fight—or play—orc and half-orc characters, bringing this shadowy race to the savage forefront!

<>Learn the secret history of this brutish race, from their first emergence from the Darklands into the sunlit world to the latest reports from the orcish realm of Belkzen and other important orc strongholds. Discover the physical and mental qualities of orcs and their half-breed kin, explore their unusual culture, and choose an appropriate campaign trait for your orc or orc-slaying player character. With extensive notes on orc religion and worship practices, orc tribal magic, and orc weapons, combat tactics, and rage powers, this Pathfinder Companion is an absolute necessity for any who would battle orcish evil—or revel in it!

Written by Paizo Staff

Each bimonthly 32-page Pathfinder Companion contains several player-focused articles exploring the volume’s theme as well as short articles with innovative new rules for social, magic, religious, and combat-focused characters, as well as a persona section detailing helpful NPCs and traits to better anchor the player to the campaign.

Nice! So we'll finally see the official player stats for the orc I'm assuming? Since the Bestiary version is suppose to be monsters mainly.

Of course... the version in the Bestiary is very likely going to be the same as the player version. What this book'll do is give additional options for orc AND half-orc PCs, though.

This is cool, but I must say i am a bit surprised to see this before a halfling book.

Meh! Adventurers never worried about attacking dungeons filled hordes of bloodthirsty halflings.

Go look at the Book of Vile Darkness. Those Jerran halflings were evil little cannibalistic b*st*rds!

And more on topic, I really like this. I never wanted to play/use half-orcs before seeing Pathfinder's version.

Hmm, maybe we can hope for a 'Gnolls of Golarion' in the future?

Which brings to the question ... when are we going to see it? My first PC playing with PF rules AND in Golarion just happens to be one.

Brutally awesome!

Glad we're beating halflings to the press... as Gorum forbid we've suffered Gnomes getting there before us ;)

Interesting, I can't wait to see this,

Well I'll have to...
