[DT-LA] Oaf, Oaves, Neanderthals - Kersus - 06-12-2014
A very thorough thread at http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?37855-A-New-Race-the-Oaves!-(Trust-me-it
Ucpap mentions they are good for comedy and/or savagery.
Then some words from EGG about his Oafs:
The Oafs, typical and major, are big and strong and not too bright, and with Orcs are there as figures that can be good or bad, offer a different play approach from all other races.
I envisage Oafs as a an evolved Neanderthal race that never interbred with Cro-Magnons, they coming to Learth vis gates as did the Alfar, including Orcs, and from another parallel world Veshoges. Oafs are fun indeed in the campaign, and I allow them, and Orcs, one additional multiplier when making Avoidance rolls. thus, for example, if the check called for is at 2 x Speed Base Rating, Oafs and Orcs use 3 x because of their innate toughness. Oafs favorite sports game is Bashum, where the contestants wield clubs, and the last one standing is the winner...
Me?
I like them ideally but Orcs seem superior. I was quite attached to a Pirate Oaf NAC who gained Aquaphobia and fled his crew. It might be interesting to see a group with an Oaf, Orc, Trollkin, and nefarious Human.
