Orc or half-orc
+5
Knowledge (history) 2 ranks, Stealth 5 ranks
Orc Axemaster, Two-Weapon Fighting, Weapon Focus (orc double axe)

4 + Int modifier.
All of the following are class features of the revenant blade prestige class.
Revenant blades gain no proficiency with any weapon or armor.
Once per day, you can call upon your ancestors to grant you knowledge and talent beyond your normal aptitudes. To accomplish this , you must spend 1 hour in quiet meditation, starting at dawn. At the end of this hour, you gain a bonus feat selected from the list below; you need not meet the normal requirements for the feat. The feat lasts until dawn of the next day.
Alertness, Blind-Fight, Combat Expertise, Dodge, Great Cleave, Improved Critical (orc double axe), Improved Sunder, Improved Trip, Power Attack, Skill Focus (Knowledge [history]), Spring Attack, Stealthy, Weapon Specialization (orc double axe).
At 3rd level, you can choose two feats from this list upon completing your meditation. At 5th level, you can choose three feats from this list. You can't use this bonus feat to meet any requirements or prerequisites (such as for another feat or a prestige class).
The orcs have immense respect for those who bond with the spirits of the past. You gain a +5 circumstance bonus on Diplomacy checks made to influence the attitude of an orc, as well as on Gather Information checks made when interacting with orcs.
If you have ranger levels, your revenant blade levels stack for purposes of determining the abilities of your animal companion. Your revenant blade levels also stack when determining the caster level of your ranger spells, but not when determining spells per day or any other ranger class feature.
At 2nd level and higher, you add your class level as a competence bonus on Stealth checks.
At 4th level, you gain a +4 bonus on Bluff, Perception, Sense Motive, and Survival checks when using these skills against gnolls. You also gain a +4 bonus on weapon damage rolls against gnolls. You gain the ability to speak Gnoll (and read and write it, if you are literate) as if you had spent skill points to learn the language.
At 5th level, you become a true master of the double axe. Through skill and art, you learn to strike with astonishing strength. This ability allows you to treat both ends of the orc double axe as two-handed weapons, even when you use it as a double weapon. For example, you add 1½ times your Strength bonus on damage rolls with each end of the weapon, and any damage bonus from the Power Attack feat is doubled when used with the weapon.
