Crushed Skulls

Overview

The Crushed Skulls tribe are insular even for Orc tribes. They are only partially integrated into the Orcish Empire. The Crushed Skulls are fiercely anti-magical. They barely tolerate divine magic, even when practiced by clerics of Grummsh. Arcane casters are often attacked on sight (any non-orc caster, or even an orcish caster not displaying a holy symbol of an orcish god).

Crushed Skulls are likely to have levels of barbarian and/or occult slayers. All Crushed Skulls over 3rd level have some levels of occult slayer.

Crushed Skulls orcs do use some magical items, mostly resistance items and enhancement items. These are invariably crafted by orcish clerics or taken from slain foes. Many magical items, especially wands, scrolls or staves, are destroyed ritualistically.
