Does anyone know if there is a way to equip these and not turn into a orc but still have the orc advantage...or can you turn into a orc and then mount but stay in form?

Long time lurker first time posting in this area, or might be first time at all.

I play on the classic EA servers mostly on Napa, Pac and Origin but I have chars of some degree spread on many other shards.  I've been a long time script modifier and have attempted/failed at writing a few myself though if time permits I'd give it another go.

I started playing back in 98 on Napa shortly after the shard opened and helped to co-form LMJ which was one of the major PVP guilds back in the day, anti.  Sometimes I look fondly back at those days with rose colored glasses and would like to give it all a go again but times have changed and the game seems to have moved on.  That said I'd certainly give it go if EA ever opens a classic shard, seige is close but I'd like the real deal.  I've given a couple free shards a try but just couldn't get into it the same way.

Thats about it for UO info.
