Tactics A typical orc barbarian will rage at the earliest sign of combat hurling axes at foes that are beyond charge range and closing for melee as quickly as possible. They fight fearlessly in groups, often more fearful of being labeled a coward by their companions than death itself, but the last orc alive or conscious will often flee, and may even think himself rather clever for doing so.
