View source for Howling War Drummer

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.

<strong>Battle rythm:</strong>
<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.

<strong>Inspire fear:</strong> 
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/3.

<strong>Orders to Charge:</strong>
<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.

<strong>Orc War March:</strong>
<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.
