A sherlock Holmes Half Orc

[DoomMaster18895]

Decided that a steam punk fantasy needed a Sherlock half orc for comedy and wit. But I can't figure out a build.

Anyone got ideas?

I would make sure to put plenty points in int; not sure how high it goes for horcs, tho.
(might need some trinkets to up the stat)

Contrary to popular belief, half-orcs don't suffer from any INT penalty at all.

Society tends to think lowly of them, and prejudice results in assuming their orc blood makes them dumb. The truth is though, while their heritage might reflect on their looks and rough personality, an average half-orc's intelligence is in fact comparable to that of a human.

little late in reply, but for a sherlock holmes build, it would probably be along the lines of a gunslinger-trapmaster. Int, Per, Char (even though horcs get penalized, you can still get the master in persuasion), and skills sush as firearms, spot trap, disarm trap, picklocks. Disciplines i would go for gun smithy, eletric and herbology (for healing if you choose not to pick up the gal, w/e her name is). main thing would to be able to make your own guns, so gun smithy is the top, then branch out depending on schematics you find and want to use.

Sherlock was drugs addicted - play with low INT and use Int potions for extra moments. (Or make very low Str and use alcohol in combat for rise str).
Other skills - not high melee (use only gauntlets), guns (stop on pistols), high chemistry, lockpick, sneak, traps both. Play with a medium oк low hit rate. Through chemistry and control. Try use only cloth, no armor. No diplomacy. No crowd of followers. Only Watson (Virgil). You will begin to avoid unnecessary battles in every possible way.
