Choose Warrior, Berserker, Druid, Sorcerer, Rogue or Hunter. Class choice changes your progression and spells; choosing a different appearance does not change your race.

Racial bonuses & tradeoffs

Racial spells & level milestones

These spells are exclusive to Orc characters and are available across all six classes unless a class is listed separately below. Character level alone is not enough: meet the named casting requirement shown in your spellbook, learn the spell, and have enough mana. See Spells and Magic for casting and learning.

SpellCast requirementsWhat it does
Dispel MagicLevel 5 + Magic 5Temporarily raise Magic Resistance by 5–60% for 15–100 seconds, scaling with Magic Resistance. It does not remove enemy buffs.
War CryLevel 10 + Magic 10Damage nearby enemies and weaken their Strength and Resistance. Susceptible monsters also lose Magic Resistance; curse-immune monsters resist the weakening.

Important limitations

Racial bonuses support your build, but do not replace your class affinities. The portrait browser shows appearance choices, not extra races or separate classes.
