Find me a head hak pack with decent halforc heads and i'll add it (or ask Spiffy to do it for me).

I've looked. I didnt find anything decent.

Half-orcs aren't meant to be pretty.

As a current half-orc player, +1.

@voss_ why not

Half-orcs absolutely can be charming or rugged in a charming way rather than just playing Hrarrgh Smashface. The old -2 Cha is a way of the past, right? :)

@echo Just give them access to Human heads.

@Satyrsfaction

This is just my take, but orcs are a brutal race and that should be reflected in their appearance. Half-orcs are widely outcast and discriminated against for their similarity to orcs, this is part of what makes them interesting and fun to play. No one says you can't be a charismatic half-orc. Your charisma score can be reflected in your personality, the contrast between the orcish and human side of a half-orc's ancestry.

In more recent editions of DnD a lot of races were made ''prettier'' so they would be more widely appealing. I think this takes away from what makes them unique.

Besides the fact that human heads would look incredibly janky on half-orc models. I'm against just making them big green humans, because thats what would happen.

Summarized, I don't think there should be handsome half-orcs for the same reason there shouldn't be ugly elves. It does not fit their lore and aesthetic.

I may have missed that memo. Oops.
