So I am not the GM of this campaign however I am working on some back story. So please no spoilers. I am playing a half orc hunter with a T-rex. So far I had the thoughts that his actions had lead to the betrayal and death of his love. The gm said he would be part of this mercenary group. Upon looking some stuff I find they are all elves. So why would they let a half orc into their midst and why would he join snobby elves?


If you are saying that you are actually going to be a member of the Shin'Rakorath, then yeah that is a tough one given who they are and what they are about. Honestly, your GM has thought it over and you are best just talking to him about it. Maybe his/her version of the Shin'Rakorath are going to be different than as written.

Some reasons anyway ...

They might accept your help because the Shin'Rakorath have a loose idea that something big is going on and need all the help they can get, especially if they are recruiting pawns for the front lines so that they don't lose any of their own.

Later on, you will have plenty of good reason to join with the snobby elves, but promise of pay and meat should be enough for you early on in the AP. You will have ample opportunity to play up your distrust of elves if you'd like.

Finally, the elves will accept your help because it is a game and the GM should make it work out if that is what you want to play. :)

Lol true. Part of my original thought before I read up on the group was that my love had been part of the group and I was attempting to atone for betraying her and her death, by putting them ahead of my own needs. I haven't even totally thought of why she died or how that happened. Given the situation my guess is she will have been an elf.


Also, your half-orc can be anywhere on the "mostly looks like human" to "mostly looks like orc" scale. The closer to "looks like human" you are, the more likely the elves can overlook your 'orc-ness'. :)

There are likely some traits that can easily help this out too. Something along the lines of "raised by elves" will help it all work out nicely.
