Grig Jig (Su): Once per day, the rogue can weave a bit of old Varisian magic into her footwork, dancing with an infectious passion that compels another nearby to join in. The rogue can target one humanoid within 30 feet and attempt a Perform (dance) check as a full-round action that does not provoke an attack of opportunity. Her target must succeed at a Will save (DC equal to the rogue's Perform [dance] check) or it begins to dance uncontrollably. So long as the rogue continues to spend a full-round action dancing each round, the affected target does so as well. If the target is attacked or otherwise in immediate danger while dancing, the effect ends. Each round on its turn, the target can attempt an Acrobatics or Perform (dance)
check or a Will save (target's choice) against the rogue's
Perform (dance) check to end the effect. A target who resists the jig can not be affected by the same rogue's jig for 24 hours. The grig jig is a mind-affecting effect. The rogue must have an Intelligence score of at least 12 to select this talent. A rogue can use this ability once per day, plus one additional time per day for every 5 rogue levels she possesses.
Is this awesome or what?
I was thinking of building a high-Charisma Rogue (or Ninja, sure) to give it a spin (although I gather that an Archaeologist Bard would be the best choice).
Any ideas on how to make this particularly good?

Eh...the fact that "being in immediate danger" shuts it off kind of means that it's not a combat ability.
If combat has obviously begun, I would say the ability doesn't work.
All that being said, it is at least an interesting ability even if not good for combat. In a lot of ways it's better than so many other rogue talents, but mostly just because a lot of rogue talents are terrible.
At the very least it's interesting.

Cool haven't done this in awhile.

What constitutes "immediate danger"?
*Forcing someone to dance while your friends rob them?
*Dancing with the shopkeeper whilst your friends rob the store?
*Dancing with the guard whilst your friends walk by them?
*Forcing someone to dance with you whilst your friends kill his friends?

I suppose you could have a bunch of these guys assault a player party while they maneuver their heavy artillery or wizard brigade into place right out of sight. Or have a mob of armed enemies or dancing zombies move in to join the party, then swarm the players once they make the save. Man, that would be a thriller.
