Traits

Zone of Control. Any creature that attempts to Disengage from the orc must make a DC 12 Strength save or have their speed reduced to 0 until the end of their next turn.

Actions

Multiattack. The orc makes two Wicked Greataxe or Javelin attacks. It may replace one attack with a use of its Challenge.

Wicked Greataxe. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5ft., one target. Hit 10 (1d12 + 4) slashing damage.

Javelin. Ranged Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, range 30/120ft., one target. Hit 7 (1d6 + 4) piercing damage.

Challenge. The orc challenges another creature within 30 feet to the duel. The duel concludes when one of the targets is reduced to 0 hit points, is incapacitated, or dies. Any creature not part of the duel has disadvantage on attack rolls against the orc and the orc has advantage on any saves against effects or abilities caused by any creature not in the duel. The orc may only have one active duel at a time.

Bonus Actions

Disarming Attack (Recharge 5-6). Immediately after hitting with an attack, the orc forces the target to make a DC 12 Strength saving throw. On a failure, the target must drop one item of the orc's choice that it is holding. The item lands at the target's feet.

Reactions

Coordinated Strike. Whenever an ally within 5 feet misses an attack and the orc is within 5 feet of the target, the orc can use their reaction to make an attack against the target. This ability can only trigger once per round for each such group of allies with this trait.
