Grey Orc Ideas

[Druchii]

So I RCR'd Val a while ago to correct some mistakes borne of ignorance .

So I got to thinking about the ranger/CS idea I had and I applied it to Grey Orcs in my head (or Tannaruks would work too ofc as the UD equivalent).

I had thought about making a ranger, but figured that since both subraces seem to have light blindness and darkvision, cave stalker made sense - the other part of me thought frenzied berserker would be very appropriate.

Near as I can figure, in order to have a decent range of favoured enemies, and seeing as how Rangers need BoE to function as per previous build advice - is there any viability/point in making a R24/CS3/FB3?

The FB gives that rage-filled flavour, but could also sub for Barbarian except that brings multi-class penalties.

The main gripe I have is that BoE is delayed till 27.. would a BoE-less ranger with some minor frenzy be capable of solo-play up to that point? Would it just be needlessly frustrating?

I suspect probably it would be, and it'd be better to either look at a Barbarian build, or simply settle for CS or FB?

CS only really allows for HiPs interrupts in caves - thats the only attraction besides the RP synergy it has with a species that has to start with Dark Vision and Light blindness.

FB to my mind brings a lot more build benefits.

The other idea I had was for a female Druid - then I realised Luric, despite having Life/Nature domains, does not appear to be listed as a deity granting nature spells. So I assume in order to get that up and running I'd have to forgo my planned druid in favour of a Cleric of Luric would need to be rolled instead. That, or go Malar, but as the aspect of the demi-Orc power of the Hunt. I forget the name.

Any decent combinations for a combat cleric that you guys can think of for a grey orc? I know Stormlord was what vanilla Grey Orcs did really well, but thats nerfed unless you worship Talos.

The challenge to the idea though, before y'all get to thinking: can anyone think of a strong, self-reliant build that utilises unarmed combat? A monk/cleric? Fist of Forest/Cleric? FoF/C/Sacred?

I look forward to yer thoughts!
