DAYWALKER



"I imagine this comes as quite a surprise to you."

Daywalkers are chosen from among the best of Orc-kind and subjected to rigorous training and magical surgeries. Unlike normal Orcs they become immune to the glare of the sun, and eventually to fatigue as well. They are untiring saboteurs in Gruumsh's war on the other races.

PLAYING A DAYWALKER
You are the absolute best the Orc army has to offer. They've invested a lot in your training, and even more in your transformation. You can't let them down.
Combat: Daywalkers may be able to walk in the daylight, but this doesn't necessarily make them safer, as most of their comrades can't For this reason most of them specialize in guerrilla warfare.
Advancement: Being that you're an elite military unit, your advancement depends on your commanding officer. Unless you go AWOL.
Resources: You have all the resources the Orc military can muster until you go on a mission, after that you need to rely on your wits.

DAYWALKERS IN THE WORLD
"Orcs immune to sunlight? What are you smoking?"
You do not interact with the world at all. Even most other Orcs regard you as something like a myth due to your rarity. And you intend to keep it that way. The enemy can't defend against a weapon it doesn't know about.
Daily Life: You're either training or on a mission. There are few exceptions, other than downtime due to new magical surgery.
Notables:
Organizations: You belong to your races military, and them alone. Any thoughts otherwise and they kill you. And your family.

NPC Reaction
You're perceived as any other Orc, which is to say not nicely.

DAYWALKERS IN THE GAME
This is best for all Orc campaigns, as explaining your presence otherwise would be convoluted, and the party would constantly be pursued by the Orc military.
Adaptation: This could be better suited to NPC's due to it's nature.
Encounters: A good Daywalker should never be caught by the PC's if he's doing his job. The PC's will usually only encounter them performing sabotage before an Orc Invasion.

Sample Encounter
EL 12: The PC's stumble across an Orc attempting to poison the cities water supply. He flees with the help of several others, showing no aversion to daylight at all.
