Bard, Dancer
The Dancer is a graceful and enchanting performer, weaving magic through their movements and captivating audiences with their rhythmic motions. A dancing bard is a vision of elegance and poise. Clad in flowing, colorful attire that allows for freedom of movement, they are often adorned with bells, ribbons, or intricate jewelry that accentuate their dance. Whether performing in a bustling tavern or on a moonlit stage, the dancer displays mesmerizing artistry and magic. Such a bard is also able to move about with guile and stealth when discretion is required. They fight with finesse, rapier and shield in hands. The mechanical requirements for the application-restricted Shadowdancer prestige class are built into this package.
These packages do not give any special abilities to your character, they simply configure your skills and feats so you don't have to.
