A new take on Shaman and adding Trolls

[moondoggy 27]

OOC: I agree with Yahgy one hundred percent.

I can not see what might be a problem to make this happen.

About the Trolls,

I almost feel that the breed orcs could be called the Greenskins or such. Cause IF both the Trolls and Goblins could be a sub-race, there will be three different "races". Just an idea, but this will probably not happen ^.^

aye we souldnt be orcs to begin with, they are a new fangled idea anyways we should be krugians-da green skins or something like that...split up into three subraces orc, troll(huge ogre or skinny wow style either works...probably huge ogre) and goblins.

I agree, Shamans should be more similar to Mages and Druids.

OOC:

I 100% agree with the idea of making Shaman as a sub-class rather than a sub-race. Shamans are supposed to be religious leaders, thus something that should be obtained through hard work. I like the idea of trolls, though the name makes me worry about what the future of the Orcs would be like, but i guess that is what applications are for. It really is a shame that there is no way to vary the size of your avatar, since it would make it much easier to have the lore fit with the actual avatars. IMO Shamans should have to apply with the Rex to be his chosen leaders, and this could be done with a trial (applications?). Though this may present some problems, I feel like it would be more appropriate to have the Rex choose who he wants as his Shamans, rather than it being a subrace/class anyone could be.

Yeah... Orcs sort of got the short stick in terms of sub-races.

[Noahjam325 53]

After seeing the new blue orc, Hadley and I came up with a concept for snow orcs as a sub-race.

Blue orc guy = amazing skin

What special skills would these Trolls have? I think they should specialize in axes, and be more of a woodland type of Orc, thus granting a higher skill of woodcutting, much like the Forest Trolls.

[Swgrclan 2682]

much like the Forest Trolls.

Like Forest *Dwarves I mean :P

[Pie Wizard 2]

I like this very much. :) I think making shamans more into the realms of mages and druids gives much more flexibility with RP.

While I like the idea about giving Trolls advances to wood cutting or even making them forest dwelling... I have to wonder about the lore as it is now.

As it is now, it says Orcs live in the desert, but "orcs" is the race from which all the current subraces are devised. So the lore may have to be rewritten in that case.

ALSO, who would the Trolls ally with in time of war? If they're forest people would they side with the elves, or with the Orcs whom they are related to?

[Urahra 5781]

If the trolls are a subrace of orcs, they fall under Krugmar jurisdiction, no? They would owe their allegiance to the Rex.

[Swgrclan 2682]

Perhaps the Trolls would be rivals to the Elves? That, also, would make it so the Lore needs to be rewritten, perhaps.

trolls no thanks

I like how the humans have south and north humans

so i was thinking of Cave goblins, Hill Orcs, Mountain orcs ?

[Petyr 485]

Or goblins, Desert orcs and Plains orcs. In other lores there are nomadic orcs who roam the plains rather than the desert (Mag'har in WoW).

The trolls would be like Jungle orcs,they would be lighter and better at ranged combat.THey would be more agile and like to kill from the shadows rather then in broad day light.They would also like to live in islands with Jungles instead of a open desert.They would also have a diferent architecture that is like the astecs architecture and they would use mosy coblestone cause that makes it look like they live deep in the jungles.

The trolls would first not like the orcs but would soon learn to like their new brothers.
