|'''Primary Features:'''||<u>Powerful Build:</u> The physical stature of half-orcs lets them function in many ways as if they were one size category larger. Whenever it is advantageous for him, a half-orc is considered one size category larger for the purposes of special abilities and combat maneuvers that depend on size (like Swallow Whole and determining who he can grapple) as well as checks that are subject to a size modifier (like grapple checks, bull rush attempts, and trip attempts). In addition, he may use weapons designed for creatures of a size category larger without penalty, though his size and reach remain that of his actual size. This trait stacks with effects that would change his size category. | |'''Primary Features:'''||<u>Powerful Build:</u> The physical stature of half-orcs lets them function in many ways as if they were one size category larger.
