Half orc... hated it when they left them out of later AD&D (pen&paper) editions. They make nice assassins, and with a little luck they could get quite an acceptable Charisma/comeliness score...
Humans run a close second  .

Half-Orcs are back... but they've gotten the shaft. A +2 strength is NOT worth losing 2 points of int and charisma in 3rd ed with all the strength enhancements laying around. Also, all they get is darkvision...
compare that to any other race's abilities. a +1 to hit and damage and darkvision vs...
So I tweaked 'em.

I guess their obvious disadvantages would make me pick'em in 3rd Ed. I'm the Champion of Lost Causes!

You could play Jaz, a proud and noble half-orc guard from the bordertown Lost Cause.

Half elves. Unfortunately, not nearly as cool as half-elves in Tolkien's world (or in MERP, for that matter) but still damn cool. Tanis Half-elven, minus the self-pity, is a heck of a character.

I saw this in a movie about a bus that had to SPEED around a city, keeping its SPEED over fifty, and if its SPEED dropped, it would explode. I think it was called, "The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down."

Also have a weakness for half-elves as I like fighter/magic user combinations. Doubts about elves from time they could not be resurrected.
If you like killing machines though half orc every time. |

The easiest way around the cannot be ressurrected thing was not to die.
Compared to the fantastic super-powers elves got the penalty of having to play smart and avoid situations which hinged on the roll of a single dice wasn't much of a limitation.
