List of layman ideas (Middle Earth)

I wonder why orcs are on the list. We already have orcs (and they're awesome).

I think a combined race/ layman orc guild sounds like an amazing idea.

I think the racial offers sword, so perhaps building further on that.
I would think it fun if they had a special based on them biting the enemy, inflicting some sort of poison/wound damage. It could, instead of direct damage, be a heal-block. So healing the target only yield X % of what they otherwise would get.
And then another special based on the sword.
2 specials in a layman is a lot though, so player can make a choice of which, every x hours.

Building on sword you'll just end up with either mercenary or BDA orcs. I like the idea of a poisonous bite, however. I'd much rather see it go towards fatigue or deliberate leg-injuries, subsequently adding more sticky-combat to pvp, alternating to anticoagulative bleed for pve.

However, -I- always pictured a layman orc guild as one of two:

Warg rider: special dependent on the animal.. slash, bite, whatever.
Uruk-hai: Permanently altered combat specific stats to provide caid according to layman restrictions.

Warg raiders would be great but that's pretty much covered by Throtyl Raiders now.

Uruk-hai layman upgrade for orcs with stunning special (like the orcs in Moria and the camps have) is an interesting possibility...

I like how everyone voted for the goodie option xD
tbh I think we need options for evil archers
like, lots evil archers exist in various fictions. and they're cool.
also, bows are pretty darn powerful with their significant damage output
a haradrim layman would open archery up at least a little to evils

Everyone voted the (goodie) option of RoR because it was, I hope, decently detailed in description and made a thematical sense Okay I may be giving myself too much credit but here's to hoping!

Anyway, I would love to hear details on an evil-archer guild, within ME or otherwise. Feel free to add to the ideas, altough I am not sure new laymans are currently a priority in ME.

Just go archer, train your skills, then go evil...
You don't get gkicked, just blocked from guildhall. And cool titles!

Can you join archers as an elf, train your skills and then change into orc and remain an archer?
