Runebound. The orc’s body is coated in magical runes granted by a runespeaker that provide it with additional strength. The orc gains one of the following runic bonuses:

• Rune of Brutality – When the orc hits a creature with less than its maximum hit points, the attack deals an additional 5 (1d10) slashing damage.
• Rune of Fortitude – The orc’s AC is increased to
  1. In addition, as long as the orc has at least 1 hit point, it regenerates 5 hit points at the start of its turn.
• Rune of Strength – The orc’s greataxe attacks deal an additional 3 slashing damage and it has advantage on Strength-based checks and saving throws.

Runic Weapon. The orc’s greataxe is imbued with powerful arcane runes, causing attacks with that weapon to deal an additional 4 (1d8) force damage (included in the attack).
