Tanarukks are orcs with some degree of evil outsider blood, in most cases but not restricted to that of a Tanar'ri. They appear as short, stocky orcs with bristly hair and horns or ridges along the sides of their heads. Also, tanarukks have a distinctive smell of brimstone about them along with a limited ability to manipulate fire. The Tanarukka originated as orc-demon crossbreeds in the region around Hellgate Keep. However, years of dwelling on Faerûn has led to their being regarded as a separate species, rather than simply as tieflings. They're nasty, brutish and not terribly blessed with intelligence; they are, however, extremely dangerous fighters. They can often be found acting as muscle for cambions and other fiendish creatures.
Baldur's Gate Special RP Note:
- Tanarukks can choose UD or Surface realm upon first entering the world. The intention of the Surface is for Tanarukks to share starting areas with the Grey Orcs, namely Soubar and Uruk Lurra.
Racial Traits
- Size: Medium
- Ability Ability Adjustments: +2 Strength, +1 Dexterity, -1 Intelligence, -1 Wisdom, -2 Charisma.
- Darkvision: Tanarukks can see in the dark up to 60 feet.
- Fire Resistance: Fire resistance 5.
- Reach to the Blaze: Once per day, a tanarukk can call upon his demonic nature and radiate flames which damage all those within 5 feet, doing 2d4 points of fire damage per round (Reflex save for half damage). This effect lasts for 5 rounds.
Favored class: Barbarian. A multiclass Tanarukk's Barbarianclass does not count when determining whether she takes an XP penalty for multiclassing.
- Level adjustment +1: Tanarukks are more powerful and gain levels more slowly than other races. It will take more experience for a tanarukk to reach level 2 than it would for normal races, for example.
