Danseur (4e Class)
From D&D Wiki
|
This page is of questionable balance. Reason: Power Source needs to be one power source, not a bunch of keywords. Dagger is already a light blade. "Add your Dexterity score to your Intelligence score." - Good grief, no. "+1 to all attacks with blades." - Do you mean light blades, or heavy blades, or both? "Enrapture or Astound" - Choosing an encounter power is already part of character creation, it doesn't need to be a class feature. These powers are also not described. "Instrumentalist" - how does this interact with bard implements? As long as there's a bard in the party, the danseur has +2 speed?

A Danseur views the world as a stage and is ever confident. Danseurs continually try to improve their movements, and in time can perform amazing acts of acrobatics. While Dansuers are fun loving, they are also a force to be reckoned with on the battle field. With quickness and accuracy they can cut down many foes, and they also have access to magical abilities. Danseurs greatly enjoy distracting, knocking down, blinding, and otherwise disorienting their foes, as to make them easy work. In a group a Danseur can perform controller roles lightly and is quite a sight in the thick of battle. Danseurs have little skill with armor and are more defensive via dodging.
Danseur Overview |
| Characteristics: Many everyday citizens practice the skill of dancing, but few utilize it in such a deadly manner as a Danseur. Danseurs move at alarming speeds and have access to mystic arts. And some have great knowledge of weaponry. |
| Religion: Many Danseurs enjoy the luck of Avandra, and are fun-loving. While the more arcane focused Danseurs prefer Ioun. Other Danseurs may worship Corellon or even Kord. Evil Danseurs may worship Tiamat. |
| Races: Of all the races, the most well known Danseurs are humans and elves. Although any race can take up the mantle of a Danseur. |
