====Sword Dancers in the World====

Sword dancers are a way to make some of the more sucky pairings (a monk/wizard, for example) suck less. Sword dancers often dedicate their lives to hunting evil, whether it is an undead lich or a tyrannous noble. They tend to be eccentric loners, prone to late-night bouts of singing, dancing, and tumbling (usually enhanced with a strong drink).

'''NPC Reactions:''' Most NPCs will think that a sword dancer is simply some sort of drunken spellcaster that has taken the risk of wearing armor or using a sword. When the sword dancer does reveal his abilities, they are met with astonishment, surprise, and fear. Even after seeing some of their enchanted blade abilities, a few NPCs might think that the sword dancer is still a simple wizard/fighter with a cool weapon. Their folly makes them easy targets during a battle.
