Just rolling up a half-orc, the poll is relevant!

Edit: it's gotta be 17 - it's mentioned in CHARACTER RACE TABLE II as well in footnote 9.

Since I use OSRIC I was not aware of these differences in the original tables. But it is nonsensical that max DEX for half-orcs would be bellow 17, it would make them less agile than dwarves.

According to the PH errata, the Dex 14 is an error. 17 should be the max dex for a half-orc.

Thanks for the link fellas. Didn't know it existed.

Limit it to 17. If the player wants to bitch, let them know your campaign world makes 1960's Alabama look like a fucking Rainbow Gathering and he's a schoolgirl on his way to church.

The question was from me: I'm getting to play every other week lately (rather than DM) so I'm getting the things I've never really played before out of my system (monks, half-orcs, triple-classes).

Never noticed the 14 before and I thought that half-orc assassins were supposed to be the shit.
