Dancer

Masters of blade, spear, whip, and staff, dancers of this choreo blend artistic grace and martial prowess to put on breathtaking displays that are as beautiful as they are deadly. Their performances call for more than just raw strength or speed, but precision and control of both one's weapon and body, with dancers often showing how well they can dodge a weapon as well as wield one.

Whenever you finish a long rest, you can touch one melee weapon that you are proficient with and that lacks the twohanded or heavy properties. The weapon becomes a dancing blade imbued with a facsimile of life until it is reduced to 0 hit points, you die, or you use this feature again. It is friendly to you and your companions and obeys your commands.

In combat, the dancing blade shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you command it to take another action as a bonus action or as a part of performing your Saber Dance flare. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. If you are incapacitated, the dancing blade can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.

If you perform Saber Dance as an opportunity attack, you can make two attacks with it, rather than one.

Further, you have advantage on attack rolls you make as a reaction.

Your attacks with Saber Dance score a critical hit on a roll of 18–20.

This choreo's choreography is modeled upon necromantic rituals, embracing death as a "beautiful curtain call to the performance of life." But what's a legendary performance without an encore? Dancers of the Grim Fandango are able to raise and command their own dance troupe of undead.

You can have a number of undead under your control with your Thriller flare equal to half your proficiency bonus, round up.

Additionally, any undead you raise through Thriller add your proficiency bonus to their weapon damage rolls.

You can dance upon the Border Ethereal while you move, allowing you and any equipment you are wearing or carrying to move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. If you end your turn inside an object, you take 1d10 force damage.

You can perform your Thriller flare to enthrall anything without a pulse. When an undead within 60 feet of you can see you perform Thriller, it must make a Charisma saving throw against your flare save DC. If it succeeds on this saving throw or any subsequent saves, you can't use this feature on it again. If it fails, if becomes friendly to you and obeys your commands until you use this feature again.

Intelligent undead are harder to control in this way. If the target has an Intelligence of 8 or higher, it has advantage on the saving throw. If it fails the saving throw and has an Intelligence of 12 or higher, it can repeat the saving throw at the end of every hour until it succeeds and breaks free.

Some are born destined for fame, others work their fingers to the bone daily to achieve it, some are just in the right place at the right time. From these individuals, the choreo of the Idolized Superstar was born. Ever the center of public attention, most students of this Choreo live in the public's eye, soaking in the adulation of their adoring fans. Once famous, some take to adopting a secret persona or alter ego, so they may go about the more mundane aspects of their life without being mobbed by crowds.

Stories of your must-see performances have spread far and wide, gaining you a bit of a fandom. When you make a Charisma check while interacting with a creature that respects your clout, be it by your true name or stage name, you can treat a d20 roll of 9 or lower as a 10.

When a creature is charmed by your Star Struck flare, you can choose to maintain the effect at the start of your subsequent turns with your bonus action.

Further, if the target of your Star Struck flare is immune to being charmed, it can be charmed but instead makes the Wisdom saving throw with advantage.

While you are maintaining your Enrapturing Routine, the effects of any other flares you perform last while you maintain the performance. If a flare requires a saving throw to end its effects, an affected target can make the saving throw again at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.

Lavish parties among the aristocracy are essentially a rite of passage for members of nobility, as politics unfold in the ballroom as often as they do in the war room. Even if these dancers cannot claim the pedigree of noble birth, they are learned in the practices and pomp of patricians; be it from rubbing elbows with those of royal hierarchy or from instructing members of ruling families in this style. Masters of this choreo strive for nothing short of perfection in their every action, conducting themselves with a calculated tact and suave that allows them to navigate even the most treacherous of social environments as easily as they could a dance floor.

When you use your Step Up feature, you can dictate a course of action. If the creature takes the stated course of action during the action you grant it with Step Up, the action's attack roll, ability check, or saving throw DC gains a bonus equal to your Charisma modifier.

If a creature misses you with a melee weapon attack, you can immediately perform your Ballroom Blitz flare. A target that previously won this contest is not immune to the effect when used this way.

The duration of your Ballroom Blitz flare becomes 1 minute, but you must use your bonus action on your turn to maintain the effect. An affected creature can make a Wisdom saving throw at the end of each of its turns to end the effect early, and succeeding on the save counts as the creature having won the contest.

With bold, aggressive movements and chant-like, primal vocalizations, adepts of this choreo use their dances to invigorate and strengthen the resolve of their allies and to terrify and break the morale of their foes, both on and off the battlefield. These dancers can work the meekest of allied forces into fervorous frenzies and send fear sweeping through the lines of battle hardened enemy armies like flames through a field of dry wheat.

When you grant a creature an action with your Step Up feature and it uses the Attack action, it can make one additional attack with the given action.

You can use a bonus action to terrify your opposition. When you do so, choose one creature that you can see within 30 feet of you. If the creature can see or hear you, you make a Charisma (Intimidation) check contested by the target's Charisma (Intimidation) check or Wisdom saving throw (their choice).

If you win the contest, the target is frightened of you and your allies until the end of your next turn. While frightened in this way, a target's speed is halved. On subsequent turns, you can perform your Rallying Stomp flare to extend the duration of this effect on the frightened creature until the end of your next turn. The effect ends if the creature ends its turn out of line of sight or more than 60 feet away from you.

If you lose the contest, you can't frighten that creature again for 24 hours.

Allies benefiting from your Rallying Stomp flare can make a single melee weapon attack as a bonus action during their turns and, while you perform this flare, you have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.

While almost all dancers are known to perform to music, none are as well known for the music they dance to as those of the choreo of Sylvan Mirth. Whether it's the dulcet melody of a set of pan-pipes, the lively ditty of a fiddle, or simply the metronomic clacking of a pair of spoons against their body, Dancers of this Choreo rarely dance without also providing their own musical accompaniment. Due to these styles coming primarily from the Spring and Summer Courts, this choreo is focused on expressions of joy, passion, and, of course, mischievousness.

When you take the Disengage action, you can chose to either teleport up to your speed to any area you can see as if by the misty step spell or turn invisible, along with any equipment you are wearing or carrying, until the start of your next turn, or until you deal damage to a creature or force a creature to make a saving throw.

Once you turn invisible with this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a short or long rest.

Creatures that have immunity to your spells and effects that cause the charmed or frightened condition instead only have advantage on saving throws made against them.

Further, if a creature that is charmed or frightened by you hits you with an attack roll, you can use your reaction to magically cause the attack to miss, provided you can see the attacker.

When you use the bonus action granted to you with Pixie Tricks, you can choose to grant the target of your Step Up feature the benefit as well.

Originally developed by the destitute and dispossessed as a means of protesting the established rules both of dance and of society, Dancers of this choreo are typically referred to as 'hooligans.' To these Dancers, Thrash is not a Choreo one studies, but a way of life that one lives. Leading a comfortable life, one can never understand the true meaning of Thrash, for Thrash is real, Thrash is raw, Thrash is the struggle to survive against insurmountable odds.

When you use your Step Up feature or take the Help action, you and your target have advantage on Strength checks and saving throws, and deal double damage to objects and structures until the end of your next turn.

Once during their turn, when your allies hit with a melee weapon attack or unarmed strike while they are within 10 feet of you and you are not incapacitated, they can roll 2d6 and add the result to the damage of the attack.

As an action, you can scream a call to aggression to your allies. When you do, choose a number of creatures within 60 feet that can see or hear you equal to your Charisma modifier. A chosen creature can use their reaction to move up to half their speed and make a melee attack against a creature.You can do so as well as a part of this action.

Once you use this feature, you cannot do so again until you finish a long rest.

The somatic components of spells can be seen as a dance, as every careful movement must be rehearsed to tease the Weave and unleash its power. The techniques of the Weave Teaser developed alongside other arcane practices like Bladesinging, and practitioners of each are frequently found journeying together. Warping the Weave through movement alone is not a feat easily done, as it requires syncing one's body and mind to the rhythm of the very flow of magic itself.

You can cast the feather fall spell on yourself at will, without expending spell charges or spell slots.

Further, you can move along the outer area of spells with a defined area as if they were solid surfaces. You can move across the spell's area in any direction, including vertically, while leaving your hands free. If the spell is moved while you are moving on its surface, you move with the spell.

When a creature targets you with a ranged spell attack, you can use your reaction to manipulate the essence of the spell. When you do, you contest the spell's attack roll with a Charisma (Performance) check.

If you win the contest, you gain control of the spell and you can make a ranged spell attack with the spell as a part of the same reaction as if you had cast it.

When you finish a short rest, you can choose to regain all your spent spell slots. Once you do, you can't do so again until you finish a long rest.
