Care to qualify this statement? Why is it you 'need' to finish on OWD5? Is it because you don't want to take Able Learner? Why couldn't you end on Dervish? Or gain some Bonus Feats from Fighter or Divine Champion to make up for taking Able Learner? I don't see why you would want to delay OWD5 to 30... I would want to get it ASAP. F12/WoD10/OWD5/BG3 I would end on WoD levels...B20/OWD5/FB5 (or DC 5) I would end with a couple levels of FB. I can't think of any builds where you 'MUST' end on OWM5...
any build if you want to max your perform so that you can utilize the -2/-2
IF save fails. and you dont want to spend 1/4 of your starting stat points on intelligence just to qualify for CE and two other less usefull feats. and that is just so i can use the few skill points it has for a single feat that may or may not work with zero openings for anything that could stack that devotion. and on top of that, the skill is bolstered/undermined by a stat that also receives a -2 starting penalty. to me this is a slap in the face. would you place the DD's armor bonuses that may or may not apply on a skill that has no use outside of it and carries no RP benefit as well as being the most challenging skill to achieve numbers without bard which is off limits. unreasonable. and then the bonus is not that good to be worth that much trouble. the whole class is not that good for that much trouble.
If you take vanilla PRC's out of the mix and look at the race specific ones we have implemented (Breech Gnome, Dwarven Battlerager, Elven Bladesinger) they are LESS powerful than other options. If anything Breech Gnome is probably the 'top' racial PRC and it is far from a Power Building option. This class is quite a powerful combo for any melee build, rather than being 'only' for Barbarians, or Fighters... It works well with any combination you come up with.
why are we taking vanilla prc's out. that is not what i am talking about. that would be like me comparing red apples to green apples and you say take out these green apples and lets look at oranges instead. lets look at the main two prototype racial prcs. they are the backbone. the orc race doesnt have a vanilla backbone prc. so making one is out of the question, because why? is it asking too much? that is a real question. is it?
Reread the description... At level 5 they get an ability which adds the Fear inspiration effects to the Battle Rhythm effects, so you do get +2/+2/-2/-2...
make some builds. see how practical it is to have 3 wasted feats and not get pushed into classes like fighter and DC to just get what you need and not use those feats to push you from a good to a better build. try some of your builds and see if you make them better with the inclusion of OWD. bet you dont. by the way its +2/+2/ and if save vs fear fails -2/-2. how many prc's give way better than +2/+2. seriously *shakes head in dismay*
i am not really wanting to see you guys waste your time, but i doubt people will roll this class. to much trouble for the lack of benefit. sorry.
EDIT:
EDIT 2: Would also add that Tempest has much steeper requirements, gives +2 AC, +2 AB and 2 feats (Greater TWF, Whirlwind Attack). This PRC costs less feats, gives +2 AB/+2 Damage, and a will save for the equivalent of +2 AC/+2 DR (most melee's have bad will saves, right?) as well as the 1/4 minutes Orders to Charge. I would say this PRC is getting more than Tempest get's for less investment. People build with that PRC pretty often since it can be STR based and still get Greater TWF, only outdone by Ranger which requires a massive investment of 21 levels to get to PTWF or 11 for GTWF. Same thing here, as I stated earlier you are getting the equivalent of about 4-5 feats worth of bonuses over those 5 levels and you do not lose any AB,
tempest has so much synergy with classes that it pairs with that calling this out IS
SILLY. its +3AC/+2AB. it doesnt ask you to get skill points in something that is TOTALLY useless. OMG tempest is tie-in heaven with tons of synergy and stacking feats and perks to take a build from good to better at very little cost becuase it's all tied together neatly. LMAO. tempest is such a bad comparison. if OWD had half the synergy of tempest i would be doing backflips to roll this
on top of getting 4 SP / level... How many high BAB classes get 4 SP / level? There are a few, but not many.
on a race that is -2 int so its not like SP's are something that orc builds typically do more than get the bare bones with. hard to flavor your toon when you have 1 SP (2/3 on your OWD). its the way the race is and one of the many hardships evolved in playing orc that are not being factored at all while you make your PrC.
) and you are ready for the fight. WoD also gives access to Spellcraft and Tumble as Class Skills, less crossclass skillpoints investions. Besides WoD will grant you H.Armor Prof. and TowerShield Prof.
Seems like the job you give to the weakest grunts in your army, to walk behind the warriors drumming a march rhythm. 
How about Orc War Chanter? Orc Task Master?
