Highlights
Orc smash stuff good. Horizon Walker level make him not be tired after smashing. Orc go into Frenzied Rage and not be fatigued.
Munchkin-Size Me
Make orc better with Mithril Full plate 'cause it not make him lose Fast Movement but make it harder to hurt orc. Also Speed and Keen on both heads of the orc double axe.
For True Munchkins: The Headlong Rush feat can DOUBLE the damage on a special charge attack--only Orcs and Half-Orcs are Eligible.
Side Notes
Limitations
Orc don't know stuff so magics make him hurt lots. Orc also don't get out of the way of stuff good.
DM Counters
Spells that go against orc's Will or Ref save could hurt orc bad.
