While Orcs have no bardic tradition nothing whips them into a frenzy
more easily than War Drummers. Using everything from elaborate drums to
hollow trees the War Drummers can often be found in large orcish war
parties.

Level 5: Orc War March, Battle rythm +2

Battle rythm:
<nowiki> </nowiki>A war drummer inspires his fellow Orcs into a frenzy (including
himself), bolstering them against fear and improving their combat
abilities. This gives a bonus to hit and damage. It starts at +1, and
becomes +2 at 5th level. It does not stack with bard inspire courage or
dread pirate inspire courage.

Inspire fear:
Instead of encouraging his brethren an Orc War Drummer of 3rd level can
choose to play ominous, demoralizing rythms. Enemies of the War Drummer must pass a save vs fear or suffer a -2 penalty to hit, damage and saves.
DC is 15 + War drummer levels + (perform ranks+intimidate ranks)/3. Capped at 32.

Orders to Charge:
<nowiki> </nowiki>At 4th level a War Drummer is able to signal the charge in a
particularly enthralling way. The nearby allies gain +30% movement
speed, +1 dodge AC, as well as the benefits from Furious Charger and
Powerful Charge. If the War Drummer has Barbarian or Frenzied Berserker
levels his allies also gain strength bonuses equal to half the bonuses
of the War Drummer rage or frenzy.

The bonuses last for 10 rounds, cooldown : 4 minutes.

Orc War March:
<nowiki> </nowiki>At 5th level an Orcish War Drummer, through skill and habit, is able to
<nowiki> </nowiki>inspire fear in his enemies while playing a Battle Rythm.
