[edit] Class Features
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: An Ivalice Dancer is proficient with light armor and gains proficiency with ceremonial weapons likes Scarves, Fans, Bracers, and also gains the use of the Katana. She is not, however, able to use shields of any kind.
Provocative: The Ivalice Dancer gains her CHA bonus to AC, as long as she is unarmored and not encumbered by a heavy load. At 5th level the bonus to AC increases to CHA mod and a half, and CHA mod 2x at 10th level.
Spells: An Ivalice Dancer draws her spells from the Cleric spell list. Unlike the Cleric, an Ivalice Dancer does take restrictions on what spells she may learn due to alignment, but may only know one of each cure or inflict spell (meaning you cant have cure light wounds AND inflict light wounds, you must take one or the other). To know or to cast a spell, she must have a CHA mod equal to 10 + the spells level. The number of spells she knows for each level of spell is 1/2 spells per day, +2.
Dancing: A Ivalice Dancer has the ability to curse or debilitate her foes with a variety of dances. To resist the effects of her dances, the opponent must succeed a FOR save DC (10 + the Ivalice Dancer's level + the Ivalice Dancer's CHA mod) or be affected as normal. At 1st level and every 3rd level afterwards, the Ivalice Dancer learns certain dances. Dancing requires a movement action, and provokes attacks of opportunity. An Ivalice Dancer can move while dancing, but moves at a -10 to movement speed. Each Dance may only be performed once per round.
Dancer's Knowledge: A Ivalice Dancer may use "Bardic Knowledge" as a Bard of her Dancer Level.
Mincing Minuet: At 1st level, the Ivalice Dancer learns this dance. With quick, speedy steps, the Ivalice Dancer strikes her opponent without skipping a beat. Makes (magic)melee attack as a ranged touch attack (30ft +5ft/6 levels), at a +4 to the attack roll. Usable a number of times per day equal to the Dancer's CHA mod +1.
Polka: At 1st level, the Ivalice Dancer learns this dance. The Ivalice Dancer shouts a battle cry while dancing, rattling her foes prowess. Target within 25ft gets a -2 penalty to attack and damage rolls, and half penalty to targets within 5ft the first (FOR negates, +2 to FOR save to targets on end of the burst) This increases to a -4 at 5th level, a -6 at 10th level, a -8 at 15th level, and a -10 at 20th level. Effect cannot stack. Usable a number of times per day equal to the Dancer's CHA mod +1.
Weapon Finesse: At 1st level, the Ivalice Dancer gains Weapon Finesse as a bonus feat. If she already has obtained this feat, she may choose another feat that she qualifies for.
Special Dance: At 2nd level, the Ivalice Dancer has gained the ability to magically enchant her dance steps. Whenever the Dancer begins to dance, a 5ft magical aura permeates from her feet. The aura is based on her alignment (inflict light wounds if evil, cure light wounds if good). Every 3rd level, the spell the aura creates improves. Additionally, the aura retains until the Dancer's next turn.
Blade Dance: At 4th level, the Ivalice Dancer learns this dance. The Ivalice Dancer spins viciously, striking her foe with a maelstrom of slashes. The Dancer makes two weapon attacks as if wielding two weapons to creatures within 5ft of her, at her highest attack bonus. However, she suffers a -4 penalty to all other attacks during the round. She must be wielding some kind of bladed weapon in order to perform this dance. The penalty to attack rolls drops to -2 at 8th level, and finally to no penalty at 12th level. Usable a number of times per day equal to the Dancer's CHA mod.
Combat Reflexes: At 4th level, the Ivalice Dancer learns combat reflexes as a bonus feat. If she has already obtained this feat, she may choose another feat that she qualifies for instead.
Magical Dancing: At 6th level, the Dancer has gained the ability to cast spells through dance. The Dancer, once per round, may cast a spell and dance at the same time. However, when performing this special feat, she may only cast spells up to one level lower then the highest level of spells she knows and can cast.
Forbidden Dance: At 7th level, the Ivalice Dance learns this dance. By dancing a strange tribal dance, she may inflict up to three (percentiles, 0-20% = 1 debuff, 20-40% = 2 debuffs, 40-60% = 3 debuffs) of these effects to a target within 35ft; sleep, poison, blind, inflamed, paralyze, panic, charm, confuse, or doom (FOR save negates) effect(s) lasts 1d4 rounds. Usable once per day at 7th level, twice at 9th, three times at 10th, and four times at 11th
Improved Critical: At 7th level, the Ivalice Dancer gains Improved Critical as a bonus feat. If she has already acquired this feat, she may choose another one that she qualifies for

Slow Dance: At 10th level, the Ivalice Dancer learns this dance. By dancing a waltz-like dance, she causes time to flow less quickly around one target.

Makes attack (magic) and drains 1/2 the damage done to them as HP. Usable a number of times per day equal to the Dancer's CHA mod -1.
Improved Disarm: At 13th level, the Ivalice Dancer gains Improved Disarm as a bonus feat. If she already has gained this feat, she may choose another feat (including fighter feats) she qualifies for
Heathen Frolic: At 15th level, the Ivalice dancer learns this dance. By swaying etherally while singing a spiritual, she cause her target to become less focused. Deals her CHA mod as ability damage to an ability score of her choice to target creature within 30ft of her. This cannot cause a creatures ability scores to drop below 5, and only stacks once. WILL save negates. Usable a number of times per day equal to the Dancer's CHA mod -1.
Parry: At 16th level, the Ivalice Dancer gains parry as a bonus feat. If she already gained this feat, she may choose another feat (including fighter feats) she qualifies for
Witch Hunt: At 18th level, the Ivalice Dancer learns this dance. By foxtrotting, the Ivalice Dancer causes her target to forget a spell of her choosing for 1d4 rounds. She may choose the same target again if able to make them lose two spells, but the effect is cut in half. FOR save negates. Usable once per day at 18th, and twice per day with two targets at 20th level.
Improved Physique: At 19th level, the Dancer gains flurry of blows like a monk would of her level, but can instead use weapons attuned to dancing rather then monk weapons. She still provokes attacks of opportunity.
