    D&D 5E (2014) Dual wielder singing/dancing

    I'm looking to create a dual wielding character who uses singing and dancing to cast magic. As a dual wielde r, i won't have a free hand for somatic spells, but I'd like to sub it with motions of my blade, or dance moves. in 3.5 i was close to designing the perfect character for this, but there...

    D&D 5E (2014) Free 60+ page Guide to Sword & Sorcery for 5E D&D

    Great stuff, but I have a big gripe - None of what you list as races are races. They're ethnicities.

    Half-orc Paladin MC
