Alternate Racial Traits
Bestial The orc blood of some half-orcs manifests in the form of particularly prominent orc features, exacerbating their bestial appearances but improving their already keen senses. They gain a +2 racial bonus on Perception checks. This racial trait replaces orc ferocity.
Scavenger Some half-orcs eke out a living picking over the garbage heaps of society, and must learn to separate rare finds from the inevitable dross. Half-orcs with this racial trait receive a +2 racial bonus on Appraise checks and on Perception checks to find hidden objects (including traps and secret doors), determine whether food is spoiled, or identify a potion by taste. This racial trait replaces the intimidating trait.

Background:
A twisted piece of rusted iron tore through the skin on the back of his hand. Pyotr let out a whimpering grumble as he cradled his damaged extremity. He sucked the wound, praying that the injury would not become infected, as he cast aside the jagged shrapnel. He wrapped a dirty strip of linen around the wound. He could not wait for it to heal, not if he wished to eat tonight. Using his uninjured hand, he continued picking through the fetid remains of the nearby town’s midden heap. Under a pile of moth-eaten cloth and moldy barrel staves he uncovered a pile of rancid, maggoty offal. He retched. The smell was agonizing.

The linen around his hand was soaked through with blood as he meandered down the hill of refuse carrying a few brown apple cores, a rind of stale bread, and some unidentifiable chunk of meat, not yet fully rotten. It was an uncommon feast.

There was shouting coming from the town. That was familiar. They were coming to drive him off again. They were always coming to drive him off. This time he could see torches and hear dogs. He reeked of midden and offal. He would never escape them.

Pyotr ran. He ran until his hands shook and his breath was coming in ragged gulps. He ran until his vision blurred and his legs burned in agony. He ran until he could run no further. Then he crawled. Then he wept.

When his vision cleared, he was staring into the leveled spears of a half-dozen Knights of Lastwall. Their splendid mounts pawed and chafed at the rank smell of the filthy half-orc. The knight-captain gave him a bitter smile. “And, just who might you be…?”

“Stop!” the chaplain shouted. “He’s just a child!”

The knight-captain spat, “Just an orc.”

…..

Pyotr strained to hear the whispered argument that the chaplain and the knight-captain were having. He could only catch bits and pieces. But, it was clear, the knight-captain was angry.

….five years ago….finest acolyte I have ever trained….more deserving than half….

….hasn’t earned….his heritage alone….no company wants….

….stronger than any two….proven…..

….cannot walk the streets….carry a weapon?....had no right….the Precentors Martial…

….made their decision.

The chaplain, his mentor for the last five years he had spent as a ward of the temple, was beaming down at him, while the knight-captain stared daggers. He did not trouble to lower his voice any longer. “The Precentors Martial, in their wisdom, may give him the ‘marks’, as they choose. Know this, orc, branding your paws will not make you any less an animal. And you will never, never be a Knight of Lastwall.”

Helm of Valorous Courage:
Aura Moderate enchantment CL 7th
Slot head Price 6, 000 gp Weight 3 lbs

A conical open helm made from fine steel, with small cheekguards and a nasal to protect the face. The frontispiece is a sunburst worked from gold, the horizontal beams extended to rest over the brows of the wearer. Iomedae’s sword runs behind the sun, the stylised blade emerging to form the noseguard. Discs of engraved silver on each cheek depict fanciful lionesses rearing on their hind legs.

When worn by a paladin who follows Iomedae, the helm of valorous courage manifests its full power: the paladin’s aura of courage extends to all allies within 30 feet rather than the usual 10 feet area. Furthermore, once per day the paladin can bestow a valorous blessing to all allies within his aura of courage: a +1 divine bonus to attack rolls that lasts for 1 round per paladin level possessed.

Paladins that do not have access to the aura of courage ability and paladins who do not worship Iomedae can still benefit from the valorous blessing, but they alone receive the benefits.

Creatures of lawful good alignment who are not paladins gain +4 divine bonus to saves versus fear effects when wearing the helm of valorous courage. This power functions irrespective of the god the wearer worships.

Creatures of any other alignment receive no benefit from using the helm of valorous courage. Evil creatures experience a persistent and wearisome headache when wearing the helm, but this is no more than an annoyance without any implications on game mechanics.
