Line 24:
* [[Ax Crazy]]: There's loads of rules for just ''how'' [[Ax Crazy]] the Orcs can get. Examples: an Orc-only trait known as "Flights of Murderous Fancy" can be invoked after suffering a humiliating social defeat. The Orc is given massive dice bonuses, the higher his Hatred the bigger the bonus, in the course of viciously and descriptively obliterating whatever humiliated him.
** Dwarfs with high Greed can be driven to murder each other if there's a dispute over something incredibly valuable.
* [[Background-Based System]]: Lifepaths mechanics. Can be considered [[Trope Codifier]]: ''Burning Wheel'' was not the first to use background based character generation, but popularized it.
* [[Big Badass Wolf]] Great Wolves are horse-sized wolves of human intelligence. Some are born into, or captured and enslaved by, the 'forces of darkness' to act as mounts for Orcs. Some become shaman-like spirit speakers or use ancient magic. Most just live like wolves and avoid contact with any bipeds save the occasional Elf.
* [[Boring but Practical]]: Recipe for success in Burning Wheel's Fight! subsystem: reduce your opponent to zero dice using locks; slit his throat at your leisure.
