Line 106:
* Being an Orc is, in many ways, a serious [[Game Breaker]] for melee characters. How? Let us count the ways.
** First, an orc has one racial ability, but it is so game breaking that the developers did not need to give the orcs any other abilities: Berserk. Take half damage, deal double damage, for 60 seconds. You can kill a LOT of enemies in 60 seconds, or one really powerful enemy. As long as you are quick enough, once a dragon lands, an orc can deal 50% of a dragon's health before it can take off, which will cause the dragon to be grounded. From there, you can finish it off without worrying about it taking off and attacking from the air.
** Second, the freedom to immediately enter orc strongholds. Gloombound mine is the has a the largest number of ebony veins anywhere, and ebony is the material needed to make two of the strongest armors in the game, and you have to enter the orc stronghold that guards it before you can enter. An orc can walk right in with a pickaxe and mine every ore vein in the place, resulting in 10-15 ingots worth each trip. AndAdditionally, the mines regularly regenerate their stock. Even before you reach 80 smithing, allowing you to make armor and weapons with it, the ingots do sell quite well. Once you reach 80 smithing, you can easily make Ebony armor and weapons for your own use or for selling. It's free money.
** Three, the innate bonuses to smithing and enchanting. Using the Warrior stone to boost your experience growth, and orc has a faster and easier time maxing out his enchanting and smithing skills than any other race.
*** Putting these three advantages together, an orc can reach lvl 80 smithing very quickly, make ebony armor for himself very quickly, and use enchanting and smithing to make them very powerful very quickly. Normally, you'd have to be lvl 30 before you could even get ebony equipment in shops. With a training regimen focused on smithing, you can get Ebony gear before you are lvl '''20''', and it will only improve from there.
