Goldaxe Tribe

The Mighty Leaders of the Orcish People

Racial Traits

Greatness Shared: Goldaxe Orcs may use their 'Moment of Clarity' Racial Trait on any allied creature they can see within 30ft instead of just themselves.

Commanding Presence: Goldaxe Orcs radiate an aura of competence and force of personality so strong it has a tangible effect on their allies - they project a 15ft aura that can grant a +2 to either attack, damage, or saving throws(Changeable as a move action) to all allies that can see and hear them within 30ft. This bonus increases by 1 at 5, 10, 15, and 20HD. They can deactivate this aura for 1 minute as a standard action to bolster the attack rolls, damage, and saving throws of a single ally within 30ft that can see and hear them by an amount equal to their CHAMOD for 1 round.

Resilient Mind: Goldaxe Orcs gain a +2 racial bonus on saves made vs mind-affecting effects. This bonus increases by 2 at 5 and 10HD.

Alternate Racial Traits

Versatile Warriors: Racial ability score modifiers replaced with (+2 Strength, +2 Charisma).
Strong and charming, the Goldaxe Tribe prides themselves on their charisma - though they by contrast are the most 'human' looking of any of the Orcish Tribes(A feature which likely adapted to help them better interact with other species).

Golden-Bodied Adonis: Gain DR 5/Adamantine or Silver; Replaces Ferocity
There is the odd Goldaxe who loses their natural orcish ferocity, yet gains something else entirely. As if forged from solid gold, these Goldaxes seem to carved from a solid block of gold, their bodies chiseled and sculpted, and their metallic flesh naturally protective shells. Some mock them, calling them a mutation gone too far, that the Goldaxes have begun to take their name too literally...and yet, known can argue with their power.

Inspiring Presence: Gain usage of the Inspire courage ability as a bard of your level a number of rounds per day equal to (2+ 1/3CHAMOD, Minimum 1), affecting all allies within 30ft. Using this power is a standard action.; Replaces Commanding presence
Owing to their naturally charismatic nature, some Goldaxe Orcs are so incredibly inspiring to their kin and outsiders alike that their mere voice and presence is enough to inspire them to greatness and courage...and even fewer can criticize them after being subjected to their melodious voices and soothing aura.

Racial Feats

Mastery of Ferocity:
Prerequisites: Goldaxe Orc, 'Commanding Presence' racial trait, character level 4th
Effects: Any creature that is within the radius of your commanding presence that has the ferocity racial ability, when they drop to 0 or below HP and would activate Ferocity to stay standing, must make a will save (DC = 10 + 1/2 Your HD + 1/2 Your CHAMOD) if you choose. On a failure, they cannot activate ferocity and fall unconscious as normal and cannot activate ferocity until they rise above 0hp and then fall below it again, at which point you may force another will save.
So charismatic, charming, and forceful are some Goldaxes, a tribe and people who have spent a great deal of time mastering their own natures and becoming something more, that they become capable of recognizing and stopping those around them from drawing on their ferocity, keeping them down when they would normally be up and fighting.

Raised for Perfection:
Prerequisites: Goldaxe Orc
Effect: Gain a +2 floating bonus you can apply to any of your saves(Will, Fort, Reflex), but you can only select which save to apply it to or move it to a different save at the beginning of each day.
Trained to take on the rigors of the champions challenge, the rigorous right of passage that all orcs who aspire to chieftainship must pass, the Goldaxes are warriors of perfection, who relish in all aspects of the fight and life and strive to master them. They have as such become capable of adjusting their own bodies and minds on the fly to become more used to different types of assault.
