Editing ORC TRIBES (section)

==Orc Military Rank==
To qualify for a given rank, an orc character has to have a minimum character level, a minimum number of ranks in Profession (soldier), and a minimum number of enemy kills, as indicated by his arm scars. The following guidelines should be used to determine rank, but remember that just because a character has the minimum qualifications, this does not mean automatic promotion. The DM must consider the character’s reputation within his tribe and the nature of his combat experience before allowing the character’s commanders to promote him. Of course, a character that successfully challenges or otherwise displaces a superior usurps that soldier’s rank in fine orc tradition. The only question that remains is how long he will be able to hold it.
