Table: Dancer Archetypes

ArchetypePrerequisitesDescription
AkimboAs deadly as the weapons they wield, yet graceful in the fluidity of their motions, the Akimbo Dancers brilliantly execute flawless dance with the art of the dual pistols.
CorypheeCoryphees are a unique group, able to feel the ticking beat of time, the legato motions of space, the chaotic melodies of souls; in short, the music of the universe, deep in their bones. A coryphee's unusual understanding of this rhythm allows them to dance directly with it, bending space and time as they do.
Dance PerformerFrom the Near Eastern nation of Thavnair comes a troupe of bewitchingly graceful performers. Though certainly elegant and beautiful, their movements also speak of martial discipline─of a pulsing, persistent energy whose rhythm can inspire souls and soothe troubled hearts. Inured to the hardships of the road, these dancers have learned to land throwing weapons with the same exacting precision as their footfalls, removing any who would obstruct the endless beat of the dance.
GeodancerMoogleThe ancient geodances first discovered by Mog have been passed down through the generations and spread far and wide, mixing the forces of the earth with the graceful movements of the body to generate amazing magic.
LightbringerA lightbringer uses dance as a beautiful but deadly martial art. As the lightbringer dances, she channels a fragment of her patron god or goddess. In this way, a lightbringer becomes a burning whirlwind of divine justice.
PoledancerPoledancers are typically exotic dancers, expert in handling the poles. These alluring individuals are the master at their craft, wielding spears, lances, and polearms with expertise and deadliness.
SeducerThese charismatic dancers rely on their charms to achieve their aims. A seducer focuses on charms, turning enemies into friends and friends into toys for her amusement.
Sundrop StormVanu VanuThe Sea of Clouds is a sparse archipelago of floating islands, with limited resources to go around. The vanu vanu tribes that inhabit them know this, and that senseless warfare over territory would severely cripple their race’s numbers. To that end, battles can be decided before they are fought through a ritual war dance known as the sundrop. If one side does not falter in morale, they must be prepared to face the full fury of their enemies, for the best war dancers are even more fearsome in a true battle.
Trance DancerGenomeNot all genomes are alike, despite them being manufactured by their own kind. Some are sent out for a purpose, and then, they obtain a soul. These “awakened” beings are then free to roam the land like any other sentient race, and make something for themselves. Even so, some are designed to dance and be brutally effective in combat. Once they get to dancing, it is like they enter a Trance and get down to business.
Whirling DervishSome dancers have adapted scimitars into graceful martial forms, and their dervish style is feared throughout the world its ability to devastate foes with a scimitar through motion and agility regardless of strength of arms.
WinddancerThe winddancer is the wind and the river. He knows how the world flows, and forces his enemies to flow with it. Even the most powerful stone breaks under the graceful and persistent pressure of wind and water.
