College of Dance

Many bards find delight in music, words, wit and poetry. Most of them use musical instruments for the purpose of powering their bard spells. But there is some that not. Some find that power in dance. Bards of the College of Dancers put their efforts in creating appealing visuals and beautiful body movement. By doing that, they inspire their companions, allowing them to be more efficient than normal.

Mystic Dance

When you join the College of Dancers at 3rd level you gain the ability to perform magical dances that empower your abilities and your spellcasting. As long as you are not wearing armor nor wielding a shield, you gain the following benefits:

Unarmored Defense. Your base Armor Class equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Charisma modifier.

Dancing Focus. As long as your movement speed isn't reduced to 0, you don't need to have free hands to provide somatic components or hold a bardic focus for your Bard spells. Your own body is enough to provide somatic components and counts as your bardic focus through dance.

Dancer Inspiration

Starting at 3rd level your abilities as a dancer make your inspiration much more versatile, granting your allies an opportunity to be more efficient. A creature inspired by you can spend its bardic inspiration die in order to do any one action different from the main action it takes as a bonus action during that turn.

Dance Floor

At 6th level you learn how to inspire your surrounding allies with your magical dance. As an action you can inspire as much allies within 5 feet from you as your proficiency bonus, spending as many bardic inspiration uses as allies inspired.

Supreme Dance

Starting at 14th level you gain the following benefits:

Dancer's Evasion. When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail.

Inspiring Footwork. When you use your bonus action to inspire one creature, you also gain the benefits of the disengage and dash action.
