New page

'''Dancer''' is a role in [[SpliceHack]]. Dancers are glass cannons, with little in the way of defense, but the ability to dish out enormous amounts of damage using a wide variety of techniques. The have a specific focus on dealing elemental damage.

== Starting inventory ==
Each Cartomancer starts with the following:
* A [[blessed]] +1 [[scimitar]]
* A [[melon]]
* A [[pumpkin]]
* An [[apple]]
* An [[orange]]
* A [[pear]]
* A random blessed [[spellbook]]
* A random blessed [[scroll]]

Dancers begin the game with [[speed boots]] and [[drum of earthquake]] already identified.

== Intrinsics ==
Dancers gain intrinsics at these [[experience level]]s:
* Level 1: [[Stealth]]
* Level 3: [[Fast]]
* Level 10: [[Searching]]

== Skills ==
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! '''Max'''
! '''Skill'''
|-
| Basic
| <ul><li>''Weapons:'' [[axe]]</li><li>''Magic:'' [[healing]]</li></ul>
|-
| Skilled
| <ul><li>''Weapons:'' [[dagger]], [[short sword]]</li><li>''Magic:'' [[enchantment_spells|enchantment]]</li><li>''Other:'' [[cooking]]</li></ul>
|-
| Expert
| <ul><li>''Weapons:'' [[knife]], [[scimitar]] </li><li>''Combat: ''[[two weapon combat]]</li><li>''Magic:'' [[attack_spells|attack]], [[escape]], [[matter]]</li></ul>
|}

== Techniques ==
Dancers can make use of the following techniques:
{|class="wikitable"
|-
! '''Technique'''
! '''Level'''
! '''Steps Required'''
! '''Description'''
|-
|'''Song of seasons'''
|1
|5
|Activate the elemental fist technique with no cooldown, if it is available.
|-
|'''[[Elemental fist]]'''
|1
|None
|As the monk technique. Deal elemental damage with unarmed attacks.
|-
|'''Winterwake waltz'''
|3
|5
|Gain temporary water walking for 20-50 turns, or increase the current timeout for water walking by that many turns.
|-
|'''[[Air dash]]'''
|5
|None
|As the monk technique. Dash forwards through the air.
|-
|'''Flow breaker'''
|7
|None
|Instantly exit a dance state.
|-
|'''Terran tango'''
|9
|15
|Create an earthquake, and cause nearby monsters to hurtle backward.
|-
|'''Summer storm step'''
|11
|10
|Fire a bolt of lightning in the direction of the last attack. This lightning bolt functions the same as a wand of lightning.
|-
|'''Detonation dance'''
|13
|25
|Explode in a 3x3 explosion for 2d4 fire damage. Unlike other techniques, this does not reset the step count, allowing for constant explosions.
|-
|'''Spellstrike slide'''
|None
|25
|Cast a known spell, ignoring failure rate. Learned upon killing the [[quest nemesis]].
|}

== Dancing ==
The central mechanic of the dancer role is dancing. Whenever a dancer hits a monster, they enter into a state called '''dancing''', and their '''step count''' changes. The step count of a dancer can change via a number of different actions.

{|class="wikitable"
!Action
!Message
!Step Count Change
|-
|Hit a monster when the step count is zero.
|"You channel the energy of your attack and enter into a dance!"
|Step count = 5.
|-
|Take a turn.
|
|Step count - 1
|-
|Hit a monster when the step count is greater than zero.
|
|Step count + 2
|-
|Hit a monster, and reach the number of steps required for a technique in use.
|(Message specific to the technique in use)
|Step count = 0
|-
|Activate a dancer technique
|"You begin performing the [technique name]!"
|No change
|-
|Allow the timeout for a dancer technique to reach 0
|"You finish your performance of the [technique name].
|No change
|}

Dancer-specific techniques, notated by a required number of steps, function differently than techniques for other roles. Each dance will remain active for 50 + [technique level] turns, and has a timeout of 50-100 turns.

When a dance technique is active, the effects do not take place right away. Instead, the technique takes effect when the dancer's step count reaches a certain number of steps specific to the technique. Every time that a dancer hits a monster, if their step count is higher than the required steps of a currently active technique, an effect specific to that dance will occur. The dance will still be active, but the step count will be set to zero.

== Armor ==
Dancers cannot wear suits of armor. Attempting to do so yields YAFM.

{{message|You cannot wear something that would inhibit your ability to dance so!.|The player attempts to wear a suit of armor as a dancer.}}

== Quest ==
The Dancer quest sees the player fighting the [[Time Elemental]] in an attempt to obtain [[the Power Pole]].
