In our first few weeks, we faced skeletons and a Nothic. Protection from G&E is extremely useful even early on. They can absolutely be super useful in buffing you're best individual PC against any one type of creature. Let's say your life cleric is really really useful against those skeletons as they turn them away. So the skeletons go after them as threat response. You've just buffed your best weapon. Or how about the squishy caster who's got a nifty spell that takes care of the Nothic? Boom, helpful. You said buff distribution is your focus, after all.

As mentioned earlier, mask of many faces is so useful for PCs facing natural racial distrust, such as your orc. You have to think about the whole context of your character. You're no going for MAD, min/max or similar. You're playing a corner case, unique character. That's great, but you're going to have a lot to overcome - possibly even within your party.

 (Had to look up a Nothic, LOL) And Protection from Good & Evil sounds... Situational at best...  As for the other part about Mask of Many Faces, Can you rephrase it? (I am a bit of a dunce :p)

Mask of many faces allows you to cast disguise self at will with no spell slot.

"You make yourself — including your clothing, armor, weapons, and other belongings on your person — look different until the spell ends or until you use your action to dismiss it."

So let's say you're normally an orc with a wicked looking mace. Now you look like a harmless old man with a walking stick.  That, combined with your charisma, should get you past most early social situations. Better, you can do that without using a charm spell, which really really really can tick someone off when they find out who did it. And it lasts a whole hour with no concentration required. Now that's sweet.

Sorry, but I meant, What did you mean by this? (Sorry I should've been more specific)

You're going for a support warlock from a very non traditional race and ability set to do so! If you want to maximize the warlock, you go Tiefling, Aasimar or Half Elf. You Max out certain stats and abilities to become best of class. In your case, you've chosen a rare combination: orc and Warlock, which has no natural magical advantages. A corner case is a rare occurrence - it's often used to describe situations, but in this case, your whole character is a corner case. He's being played for the pure joy of story, which I like.
