For you D&D nerds (4th edition)
Any suggestions for a home-brew Orc racial power? For some odd reason I have interesting ideas for all other races that need them other than Orcs.
The Monster's Manual has something to the effect of "Encounter Power: make a melee attack for [W]+Str damage, and spend a healing surge if you hit." That's just flat out for two reasons: It's essentially useless if you're not a melee class (STR at that) where as I'd like it to be mostly class and role independent, and if possible I'd like it to be something that could be some day maybe useful not in combat.
Everytime I try I come up with something, it's either incredibly flavorless or it starts feeling like the Munchkin card "Monster The GM Made Up Himself".
Card Name: Monster The GM Made UP Himself(Level 7)
Card Text: +4 against Dwarves, +2 against females, -3 against wizards, -2 if it's saturday.
Bad Stuff: Halflings lose 1 level. Elves lose 2 levels. Males lose 1 extra level and must discard one card. Those who don't fall into the above categories must discard two cards. No really! It's for game balance!
