Orcslayers are those individuals who have a burning hatred of orckind, usually people who were hurt or had someone close to them (parents, relative, close friend) killed or injured by orcs. The nature of orcslayers normally precludes half-orcs from being orcslayers, not to say that it could not be done.

Hit Dice: d?

Requirements

Race: Any non-half-orc
Base Attack Bonus: +6*
Special: Characters wishing to become orcslayers must have a reason to sufficiently hate orcs to devote their lives to destroying them. Alternatively, you could allow dwarves to play orcslayers without this hatred.

* Characters who begin their careers with a deep-seated hatred of orcs can, with DM permission, gain this class with a base attack bonus of +1.

Class Skills

The orcslayer's class skills (and the key ability for each skill) are Climb (Str), Craft (Int), Handle Animal (Cha), Hide (Dex), Intimidate (Cha), Jump (Str), Knowledge (dungeoneering) (Int), Listen (Wis), Move Silently (Dex), Profession (Wis), Ride (Dex), Search (Int), Spot (Wis), Swim (Str), and Wilderness Lore (Wis).

Skill Points at Each Level: 4 + Int modifier.

Class Features

All of the following are Class Features of the orcslayer prestige class.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: An orcslayer is proficient with all simple and martial weapons, light armor, medium armor, and shields.

Orc Enemy The orcslayer gains a +1 bonus on Bluff, Listen, Sense Motive, Spot, and Wilderness Lore checks when using these skills against orcs. They also gain a +1 damage bonus vs. orcs. At levels four, six, eight, and ten, they gain an additional +1 bonus on skill checks and damage rolls, i.e. +2 at level 4, +3 at level six, and so on, up to +5 at level 10.

Track Orc: As per the feat Track, except that the orcslayer may only use it when tracking orcs. If they have the normal feat Track, orcslayers gain a +1 bonus on Track checks.

Smite Orc: Similar to a paladin's Smite Evil, once per day an orcslayer may attempt a smiting attack (normal melee). If the attack is successful, the Orcslayer gains 1 extra point of damage per level of Orcslayer she possesses.

Hate Frenzy: At fifth level, orcslayers have learned to focus their hatred so much that they can work themselves into raging frenzies. While in a frenzy, they gain +1 to-hit and +1 damage per two levels. This frenzy lasts for d4 + Con mod. rounds.

Damage Reduction: At seventh level, orcslayers have learned the usual blows dealt by orcs, and have learned how to avoid the worst of it. They gain 3/-- damage reduction from orcs only.

Uncanny Dodge: Using their training to determine what an orc is going to do through subtle body language, orcslayers gain the uncanny dodge ability of a Rogue when avoiding attacks by an Orc.
