Bladedancer

Where some warriors fight with strength and indomitable toughness, others fight with grace, instead. You are part of a very old tradition of fighter whose skills are passed from master to teacher through the generations. Your skills aren't just for battle. It is an art form, and crowds gather to watch your gracefully flashing blades. Some bladedancers travel so that others can see and appreciate their skills, while others have taken on the adventuring profession to use their skills for good, or to earn more coin from unearthing ancient treasures.
