Black Orc Mob - question

[Claus]

I´m probably starting a Black Orc Mob and have questions with regard to

Young´uns

It´s allowed to upgrade one for 10 Gold to a Black Orc Young´uns.

So here the question:

1) Can I upgrade to and Black Orc Young´un whenever I want or when I hire them for the Gang ?

2) If one got the upgrade does it mean that he has automatically the "Proven Warrior skill upgrade" or is this to take when the levels and I get a skill to chose ?

Regards

Hi Claus,

What you were thinking is how I would interpret the rules.

1) If a young'un has black orc blood then at any point on or after they reach 25 xp they can gain the "Proven Warrior" skill as a skill after an advance that essentially turns them into another black orc with the same benefits. Before 25 xp though young'uns with black orc blood are simply expensive young'uns.

2) You have to spend 10 gc when you hire a young'un with black orc blood. This represents the rarity of black orcs. I guess this also acts as a gamble that the young'un may die before getting any benefit from its black orc blood but on the flip side if it survives then it will eventually become more lethal than regular orc heros.

I hope that this helps.
