Dancer

Humming to herself to remember the first few steps and her line, a young elf wearing a regal tutu takes to the stage to perform for her recital. Her dance is accompanied by wind helping her leap, fire acting as her spotlight and lightning adding the trusty razzle dazzle to her spinning.

Mesmerizingly twirling and whirling with ribbons and colorful cloth, a half elf brings life to the tavern alongside a good song. Unfortunately for the crowd, he’s robbing them blind, cutting purses with an expertly hidden dagger up his sleeve. His fellow dancers are juggling swords and performing mock combat to help keep eyes off him.

Hurriedly, many small children find their seats in the town square, a traveling troupe is in town. Out comes a gnome and the story begins. Through the dance, the tale of the Great Ginevra the Good is told, behind stage, other dancers conjure up the scenery to enhance the performance.

Regardless of what kind of dance, movement unites these individuals as their performance aids them in their walk of life. A dancer is swift, coordinated and full of stamina, they dance for many different reasons that can range from hand to hand combat, to deception and distractions, to commanding the elements, to storytelling and anything in between.

Quick Build

You can make a dancer quickly by following these suggestions. First, Charisma should be your highest ability score, followed by Dexterity, followed by Constitution. Second, choose the entertainer background.

Class Features

As a Dancer, you gain the following class features

Unarmored Defense

Beginning at 1st level, while you are wearing no armor and not wielding a shield, your AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Charisma modifier, as the power of your presence causes hesitation.

Dance Steps

Starting at level 2, you have practiced certain step patterns that compliment your dancing. These steps are fueled by special dice called rhythm dice.

Rhythm Dice: You have three rhythm dice, which are d8s. A rhythm die is expended when you use it. You regain all of your expended rhythm dice when you finish a short or long rest.

You gain another rhythm die at 5th level, one at 9th level and one more at 15th level.

Saving Throws: Some of your steps require your target to make a saving throw to resist the step’s effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:

Step save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier

You learn two steps of your choice, selecting from those available to all Dancers or to your Dance Style, which are detailed under “Dance Steps". Many steps enhance an attack in some way. You can use only one step per attack. You learn additional steps of your choice as you gain dancer levels according to the Dancer table. Each time you learn a new step, you can also replace one step you know with a different one.

If you activate Signature Dance, you can use a Dance Step that requires a bonus action as part of the same bonus action.

Dance Style

At 3rd level, you dedicate yourself to a dance style of your choice. You can find these options below. Your choice grants you features at 3rd level, and again at 6th, 10th, and 14th level.

Rhythmic Adept Feat

You have trained to perform special dance steps. You gain the following benefits:

• You learn two steps of your choice from among those available to the Dancer Class (Subclasses not included). If a step you use requires your target to make a saving throw to resist the step’s effects, the saving throw DC equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma or Dexterity modifier (your choice).
• You gain one rhythm die, which is a d8 (this die is added to any rhythm dice you have from another source). This die is used to fuel your steps. A rhythm die is expended when you use it. You regain your expended rhythm dice when you finish a short or long rest.
