Oro Invictus in the Monster Manual



*Condemned 2 (and therefore the picture of the Dark Watcher[ seen above] and Magic Man [below]) belong to Monolith Productions and Sega.

[Below you'll find the final of four posts about a 4th edition D&D player race inspired by the game Condemned 2 Bloodshot, but you don't need to have ever played the Condemned games to use them. Although, if you enjoy video games, I implore you to try Condemned. Today's material presents the oro with a new paragon path, new feats, and some words on the oro and classes, all with a theme of the arcane power source.]


Oro Invictus

The oro are a race derived from humans who used wild magical energies to evolve into a new and hardier form. Using their newfound powers a group arose within the oro, forming the shadowy organization known as the Oro Invictus. The Oro Invictus sought (and still seeks) to control the human populace, and guide them towards dominance over all other races...except of course the oro themselves.

Powerful and secretive, the oro hide out amongst humans in sleeper cells, awaiting their chance to asert their control over the masses.

*One of the readers let me know that the Oro Dark Watcher didn't have his Will defense properly displayed on the stats, so I have fixed the error and updated the power card. Thank you to the anonymous reader, I am in your debt.

I received an e-mail from an anonymous reader about an error on this post. Sadly I forgot to write in the Oro Dark Watcher's Will defense (which is 22). I'll have an updated stat block for the oro Dark Watcher up by Sunday. Thank you to the anonymous reader, I will certainly try to be more careful in the future, but if you happen to catch more of my goofs, please don't hesitate to drop me an e-mail at dungeonbrew@gmail.com or leave a comment.
