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.

Maniacs who decide to forgo any reasonable level of protective clothing in order to be able to dance in battle and are getting away with it (for a while). There are many iterations of this concept in multiple settings such as the Wood Elves wardancer, the Eldar harlequins and countless bard/monk/rogue based classes but they are all mad.

Battle Dancer is one of the "new" based classes in 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.
The original Dragon article says the class was inspired by capoeira, a Brazilian martial art invented by escaped African slaves.
