Kapenia Dancer

Bladed Scarf

So what do you guys feel about this archetype? You really don't hear much about this guy, and all in all does not seem that bad. While having a diminished Spellcasting, they do get Canny Defense, Free Weapon Focus, the ability to use teh scarf in 1 hand, and effectively has a weapon with Trip, Disarm, "Reach" (with arcana investment), and Steal (with Arcana Investment).

All in all, they seem to be a pretty solid archetype with some interesting flavor. Any Opinions?

Oh! and what other archetypes may or maynot be good to stack with this?

totally agree with you! imagine, you beat a dragon with a scarf... A SCARF, how cool is that! (well, i might be exagerating, but in general, you beat people and monster with a scarf ^^), right now i'm building one, npc,, but i really wanna try it sometime

the teleportation is cool, sadly only scoring a critical

i know the hexcrafter magus can be mixed with the kapenia dancer, so you can have access to some witch hex


I forgot about the Hexcrafter. That would actually be pretty cool since you are lacking in spells, so your hexes can make up for that deficiency.

One other 3rd Party Archetype looks cool and that is the Arcana Lord. They essentually can trade their spells for more Arcana.

O yeah, the arcanalord, i forgot about it, hum... i might be reconsidering building that npc and make it my pc, could be interesting to play something purely focus on arcanas, i kinda like that


Seeing as the Dancer takes a hit to spells anyway, you can probably get away with using your spells to allow you to power your steal and reach abilities.

The other thing I am wondering is if Black blade could be applied since YOU technically can use it 1 handed xD. I doubt it though...


totally truth,

in fact, it might work the athame created by the spellblade, is some sort of dagger, but for the purpose of spell combat the hand that hold the athame is considered free, and if you mix that with the hand in the scarf... it might really work, it will hurt at the beginning since the lack of spells but in later levels might not be a problem, the only problem i see is that both archetypes must sacrifice spells (at least with the arcana lord) to recover arcanas, or to create the athame
