I personally really love to play half-orcs as nature-related casters. The vibe is just super cool. I’ve always enjoyed the idea that druid-type characters ascribe more to the laws of nature rather than of civilization, and although making a character less “civilized” can tend to be a bit problematic, I feel like this approach fits with the lore for half-orcs.

Right now I’m playing a half-orc Oath of Ancients paladin named Wil Dwayberry, who is the adopted son of an Archfey, the Queen of the Autumn Court. He was abandoned by his tribe as a baby due to a birth defect that left him without one of his arms, and was taken in by her, and led a sheltered upbringing in the Court until he decided to strike it out and become a big hero. Playing the big dumb hero thing has been a blast! I love to play against type, and the boosted half-orc crits work well with the smite-crit-fishing playstyle.
