Orc Bloodcaster
Orc, CE Medium Humanoid (Greenblood)
Complex Monster, XP 1600
Level 4 (+3)
"We have our own dark magics, down beneath the caves, in the darkness where not all of us wish to go. Those who do learn very quickly, but at great cost."
——Graluk Blocktooth, a Bloodcaster
Some Orcs learn how to wield magic in a crude sort of way, which is exemplified by the spells they cast. They choose magics that cause pain and suffering above all others, preferring to see their enemies bleed and melt before they are crushed. While not particularly gifted in the Eldritch arts, Bloodcasters focus on the cruder forms of magic that harness raw elements to damage foes. Among their kind, they are viewed with superstition and often fear. They prefer darker, loose fitting clothes and bone jewelry which double as a Spell Focus and minor intimidation piece against more primitive minds.
