Beast Slayer strength and Beast Fodder weakness coincide on the same captains too frequently
For as many ways as the game grants players the ability a nice toolbox of special skills and environmental options to enact bloody orc carnage, I've found frustration in the way that, after a certain level, the coincidence of the same orc being both weak and strong against beasts makes riding around on graugs and caragors somewhat worthless.

Part of this likely comes from the way that beastmasters innately have beast slayer as part of their class kit and, if I recall correctly, slayers also get it inherent to the class. It winds up luring the false impression that attacking on caragor-back would be a good idea, but it nearly always winds up with suddenly having the animal die in a single animated takedown.

I don't think the class-based strength can be overriden, so maybe it would be best if the game just checked whether 'beast slayer' was present and choose a different weakness or simply override showing 'beast fodder' as a weakness on that orc.
