Orcish Fullblade 25 gp 2d6 2d8 19-20/x2 — 30 lb. Slashing

Orcish Fullblade: The orcish fullblade is perhaps the largest sword made by a man-sized creature. Over six feet long and weighing over twenty-five powers, the weapon inspires terror in those facing it. Only the strongest and most dedicated orcs can effectively wield the weapon. Blademasters chose the fullblade as their weapon of choice, and are among the few true masters of the sword.

You must possess a Strength of 15 or greater to take the Exotic Weapon Proficiency (orcish fullblade) feat. Orcs treat orcish fullblades as martial weapons.

 

Orcish Blademaster (Gladiator)

The iconic orcish gladiator is the blademaster. An old, weathered veteran of many battles, his hair gone gray and his skin marred with scars, the blademaster stands ready in battle, wielding his incredible sword with a skill and finesse few others can muster. On his back is a Horde standard, imparting him with the spirits’ grace and gifts of wind. The blademaster needs not multiple weapons to battle; his fullblade is all he will ever need. Unlike most gladiators, watching a blademaster is much like watching the wind itself rend enemies asunder.

Orcish Blademaster Alterations

Orcish blademasters do not receive any additional weapon proficiencies, nor does he receive a bonus Weapon Focus at 6^th or 9^th levels or a bonus Weapon Specialization at 10^th level. Most blademasters choose the fullblade as their focused weapon, but some choose other weapons, such as a great axe. Instead, they gain the following class features, at the indicated levels:

• 4th-Level — Wind Walk (Su): At 4^th level, the blademaster becomes one with the flow of battle such that he may turn invisible and move with the grace of the wind. The orcish blademaster may become invisible as a standard action (as per the spell, cast as a mage equal to his class level) once per day. While invisible, he gains +10 land speed. If he strikes an opponent while using this ability, he deals extra damage equal to his class level and becomes visible.

At 8^th level, the blademaster may use this ability three times per day, and his speed increases by +20 while using this ability.

• 6th-Level — Mirror Image (Sp): In the heat of battle, the blademaster moves so blindingly fast that his opponents may see him appear many places at the same time. At 6^th level, he may cast mirror image as a mage equal to his class level, once per day.

At 10^th level, he may cast mirror image three times per day.

• 6^th-Level — Greater Weapon Focus: At 6^th level, the orcish blademaster receives Greater Weapon Focus for any weapon in which he has Weapon Focus.

• 10th-Level — Greater Weapon Specialization: At 10^th level, the orcish blademaster receives Greater Weapon Specialization for any weapon in which he has Greater Weapon Focus, Weapon Focus, and Weapon Specialization.
