ADAPT (2268)
Syntax: adapt <Mundunugu|Skrugga|Shig-Ru|Mamlauk>
When an orc earns his 35th level, he begins to finally rise above the pitiful
peons and sows that comprise the vast majority of the orc population. Only the
strongest and most cunning of orcs are physically and cognitively capable of
attaining such a status amidst a life of such cruel brutality. In order to
continue to survive in this atmosphere of fierce and savage competition, an orc
must begin to adapt to new challenges and various hardships. He must compensate
for his age by adopting skills beyond simply the heavy-handed tactics of
younger orcs, prove his worth to his chief by displaying particular cunning,
and demonstrate that his abilities are intimidating enough to assure that the
ever-greater number of orcs beneath him continue to possess ample motivation to
submit.
These specialized skills to which the strongest of orcs adapt are, however,
carefully-watched secrets. It is said that a clan chief is capable of denying
this knowledge to an orc that he deems as weak, worthless, or disobedient.
