[QUOTE="CleverNickName, post: 3457017, member: 50987"] [COLOR=SeaGreen]The Shadowdancer prestige class is versatile enough to allow a lot of unique variants that are full of game flavor, but don't require a lot of work. There were some comments in my other two Shadowdancer variants ([URL=http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=183539]Sand Dancer[/URL], [URL=http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=193562]Rain Dancer[/URL]) regarding the possibility of a "fire" dancer. The idea was to create a fantasy warrior version of Polynesian fire dancers: nimble, tumbling fighter-types with a penchant for pyromania. Since I am rather bored at the moment, I thought I would take a shot at it. Please let me know what you think, and offer any suggestions and feedback that come to mind. I did this one in about twenty minutes, so I'm sure it needs a lot of polish. ----- EDIT: On second thought, it needs more than polish. It needs Maaco. :\ [/COLOR] ----- [B][SIZE=3]Fire Dancer (Shadowdancer variant)[/SIZE][/B](for smootrk) As I stated above, the concept for this class a graceful, agile fighter who specializes in the use of flaming weapons.
