so dire charge is unnecessary right? would be better to have the bonus damage instead of... well.... nothing

Charging would give you 50% movement speed (without it'd be 30%) and +4 AB/-2 AC.

orders to charge gives from what i understand:
30% increase in speed
+4 to hit
and all the attacks you would normally have as apposed to what?

it like saying i can have all the HP's i normally have. its weird and redundant.

A normal charge gives you +50% speed until you reach your target, +2 AB -2 AC and 1 attack for the whole round.

Dire charge allows you to get your normal attack schedule, ie all your attacks will happen normally and the charge bonuses will be applied. Since Furious Charger is also added you gain nothing less than +4 AB ... on all your attacks for that round.

As for the +30% speed it lasts 1 minute, not a single charge.

I meant that you get the bonuses from the ability itself without the need to charge, and those are: +1 AC and 30% movement speed. But you don't get charging bonuses, unless you charge.

Orders to Charge: 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 Dire Charge.

Probably the wording of the last line should be "are granted feats" instead of "gain benefits".

Thanks for the clarifications, gents.

The revised PRC looks prety sharp, and with a few tweaks as suggested by Matelener there will be little room for misinterpretation.

Keep up the good work.
Looking forward to seeing this in-game.
