Ork shamans are the spiritual leaders of orkish society. They are specialty priests of Gruumsh, and are capable of casting mage and priest spells. All shamans tend to be more than a little unstable and are usually kept seperate from the rest of the tribe.

Combat
Ork shamans can attack with their fists and bite for 1d4 hp of damage or with any weapon they choose.
Ork shamans are mage / priests of a level equal to their hit dice and can casts spells from the following schools and spheres:

School	Sphere
Abjuration	All
Alteration	Combat
Invocation / Evocation	Divination
Lesser Divination	Elemental
Greater Divination	Guardian
	Healing
	Protection

They have also created the following spells:

Brain Bursta	Da Krunch	'Ead Butt	'Ere We Go!
Fists of Gork	Gaze of Mork	Mork Save Us!	Mork Wants Ya!
The Hand of Gork	Waaaaaagh!

Mork and Gork were brothers and the greatest ork shamans that ever lived. They strangled each other one fine night.

Habitat / Society
Ork shamans lead their tribes in rituals to venerate Gruumsh. They are feared as much as they are respected, as all shamans are more than a little crazy. As such, shamans exist outside the normal structure of orkish society. Shamans are very rarely leaders, as this does not sit well with their temperments.

Ecology
Shamans are the result of Lolth's involvement in the creation of orks. She felt that the orcish races needed more magical power. Gruumsh has yet to make a final decision as wether or not he will allow the shaman's to continue ot exist.
