You, have to put up your longswords to grab your scythe, otherwise it falls to the ground at the end of the round.Round 6-Dancing Sword #1 Attacks, Dancing Sword #2 attacks, you have to put up scythe & begin Draw Longsword #1 and Grab Dancing Sword #1 as it falls at the end of this round.  If you have quick draw, you can get a full round of attacks with Longsword #1 & Dancing Sword #1, but then it doesn't get to do it's Dancing Attacks (does it).Other rounds- You barely get to attack as you spend all your actions activating and grabbing various Dancing Weapons, unless you let them fall to the floor, in which case the flow of combat can move you away from the +5 weapon (minimum).  Chances of nothing running off with it, pretty low.Your 21st level, but still.  You just got 3 Dancing weapons (that's 3 +5 weapons!  I doubt they're just +1 either, +1 is kind of weak by 21st level). Then you got a +4 Shield (minimum), Plus whatever your 2 Magical Longswords are.  Most of your cash just went into weapons.Or I am incorrect about something (particullary the Animated Shield Bash), if you can do that my Fighter just got real nasty.Vraille Darkfang</blockquote>
