The enemy will likely know of the consequences if he tries to attack you while under the effects of dance of death. So at best, you just prevent them from attacking you for that 1 round. Or are you hoping that Orcus might end up "accidentally" hitting himself with his touch of death ability and KO himself? <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/laugh.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" />I understand that the concept behind dance of death is likely that you enter some sort of "super-evasive routine" stance and counter your opponents' attacks as they attack you. But the issue here seems to be that it was implemented very poorly, as the way dance of death is worded does not mesh well with the turn-based combat system of dnd. The only way it might work the way you want it to is to ready a standard action to use dance of death on an enemy just as he is about to attack you. Either that or revise it to be an immediate action exploit instead.</blockquote>
