Battle Dancer is one of the "new" based classes in [[Dragon Magazine|Dragon Compendium]], originally appearing in issue 159. It's a variant charisma based [[Monk]] that trades a good fort and will save, and the random monk/martial weapons it gets for full BAB and actually being proficient in all simple weapons. It's a pretty terrible class whose only saving grace is being a one level dip for a charisma based character that wants +1 BAB, Improved Unarmed Strike, and Charisma to AC. | Battle Dancer is one of the "new" based classes in [[Dragon Magazine|Dragon Compendium]], originally appearing in issue 159.
