This puny non-Orc requests that you not kill him for long enough to be informed that a mighty Orc 'Hero' of Rovagug will be joining you shortly for the smashings.
And then a little bit longer, so that he can run away...
No Martial Artist Monk?

This is Golarion. Grumash is doing all caps because he is pretending to be a dumb, violent orc. He will do all caps in the recruitment thread, but not while GMing. That would be very annoying, I imagine.

I guess I'll allow it.
Ah ok, the all caps thing gets old yes.
Ah ok, the all caps thing gets old yes.
Added a note to the OP confirming that I will not be GMing in all caps.
Martial Artists don't have to be lawful. I just found a way to kill things without a weapon that worked.
EDIT: Ninja'd
Max HP or roll hobbits to find?
Max HP or roll hobbits to find?
Take max HP at each level.
If you play an anti-paladin, your smite good ability will work on all creatures regardless of alignment. This is because the fight with the humans is very much an evil against evil fight, and therefore you won't really be fighting good characters.

You can't put these long continuous strings in titles. It breaks the board!
Fixed.
On second thought I think I'll leave this one alone.

Plotless violence?
Yes please!
One Cavelier coming up!
Plotless violence?
Yes please!One Cavelier coming up!
Any thoughts on Orders? Standard cockatrice or maybe lion?
edit: Orc on horse? (or the awesome camel? befriended by orcs since the dawn of times...).
I saw an archetype (Beast Rider) on d20pfsrd.com that would fit the theme, more mount options there (orc on Arsinoitherium, orc on Auroch, orc on tiger!)
What do you think?
... more mount options there (orc on Arsinoitherium, orc on Auroch, orc on tiger!)
What do you think?
Orc on a Rhino!!!
Am grabbing puny huumanz wit mighty orc fist and twisting stupid head off!!!

Go for it.
Yes! Orc on a rhino it will be!
One Half-Orc Witch (Doctor) for your consideration!
I'll accept characters tomorrow.
I'm going to go ahead and step out of the running.
I will flesh out prutal pugilist today as I get free time in between emergencies.
I'm very much thinking of a two-weapon fighting Ranger who hates Humans. Is there an archetype that bins spells?
Trapper. Neutral Evil Ranger (Trapper), who follows some evil god of hunting.
Gorauk Bloodhunter will show puny humans what it means to mess with ORCS!
Varnok wishes to slaughter the humans. Varnok must destroy them
Dotting. I'll try to have a character up tonight. Years ago I was a player in a similar game that ended after 3 sessions (all orcs and goblins), and it was some of the most fun shenanigans I had in 3.5.
How many traits, if any?
I'm leaning Rogue 3/Ranger 2, or Witch 5.
No traits.
Cool. Less work. :)
How ridiculous/combat heavy will this be? For instance, will it be typical Pathfinder combats for our level, like in a module, or can we find ways to drop feather token swan boats on groups of enemies and the like, for instance. (This example is just to gauge relative level of extremely silly orcishness in combat.)
There is no plot, only combat, and as for silly magic items, if it's in the CRB, APG, UM, or UC and isn't a gun or dependent on guns or non-combat situations, you can have it.
Any chance of replacing the Ferocity orc trait with the Beastmaster Half-or replacement trait, since the character is a spellcaster, and is less sturdy? I like the idea of the hedge shaman-witch, and capturing prey alive/dealing with animals... thoughts?
Presenting the not-quite-completed Thinky Skybones. Things are still under construction, but Thinky is smarter than the average orc, and uses her cunning intellect to nefarious ends. She slaughters enemies with range, magic, and unorthodox tactics in an attempt to soften up as many foes as possible before her fellow orcs can hack them to bits. She also serves quite well as a back-up combat healer, should the need arise.
Thinky uses her longbow and hexes primarily, relying on spells and scrolls if things get hairy. If large numbers of challenging foes are present, she'll take to the air for height superiority. If things turn really nasty, Thinky drops heavy objects and boats on her enemies.

Go ahead.
Okay, everything is done except equipment. I'll finish that up tomorrow evening after work.
Let me know what you think. :)
How about Orc four winds monk with fiery elemental fist? How can you not allow a monk archetype with fists of fire?
Since you've got someone else pulling for a Witch, I'll bow out. Enjoy, guys.
Introducing Gorbak Humanbane. Got some things to tie down:
1. 1st favoured enemy will be Human. What would be most appropriate for 2nd favoured enemy?
2. What makes most sense for favoured terrain?
3. Aside from Common, what extra languages will make sense for the Orcs to speak? What kind of other races are in the immediate area?
As one of the largest orc fans on the site, I must apply to this!!! Sadly, I have not maintained my orc fansite lately though (www.orcs.ca)
I will create whatever character is needed. I would like to apply with the cleric noted below, but I also have a great idea for an orc scout (ranger type).
"Rovagug want alla yous' ta fight wit' great might! Show da enemy no mercy... otherwise me kill you me'self!"
Druhg has always had high ambitions in his life. As small child, he rallyed other orcs around him and beat up weaker orcs... usually lethally. He very quickly learnt the power that comes with having loyal followers.
Having a natural affinity for leading and controlling others, Druhg was apprenticed by the clan warpriest. Druhg has thoroughly learned the teachings of Rovagug and believes it is his mission to make sure all orcs embrace Rovagug and know of his might.

3. Aside from Common, what extra languages will make sense for the Orcs to speak?
Unless there is a houserule based on regional creatures, the Bestiary lists their bonus language list as: Dwarven, Giant, Gnoll, Goblin, Undercommon.
RAW, you'd have to put ranks in Linguistics for additional languages. If we get free reign of languages, I may change some of mine.
@Druhg: If we both get picked, I'd totally be willing to follow Rovagug as a layorc. Not going to be devout, as my patron comes first, but as far as deities go, Rovagug would fit my character just fine.
