In Ad&d resources I have frequently read that orcs and half-orcs are supposed to have a kind of arcane spellcaster (called witch-doctor) among their ranks. These were similar to low-level cleric-mages. A kind of generalist spellcaster without the cultural refinement to perfect any of her abilities.

I think it could be cool allowing BG2 half-orc characters to become witch doctors (ie. cleric mages). Cleric mage should be the only multiclass mage option for half-orcs and singleclass mage should still be forbidden.

I also think that the ranger and paladin restrictions should be eased allowing everyone to become a ranger and allowing half-elves (but not elves) and half-orcs to become paladins.

Do you believe this would be a good idea?
