While the Altmer's and Redguards' racials can be obtained from the black book powers secret of arcana and secret of strength (and are actually worse), the Orc's racial power gives you the same damage reduction as secret of protection as well as the insane double damage modifier.

Their racial power is also the strongest in the game, especially for a melee character.
