[QUOTE="Seule, post: 372907, member: 407"] Chain Dancer The Chain Dancer is loosely based on the Blade Dancer from Oriental Adventures. I’ve modified it to use a Spiked Chain and psionics for a Psychic Warrior in my game, but I’ve tried to keep the basic flavour of the PrC: a maneuverable warrior who can enhance his weapon in combat.
