Dance like nobodys watching (Dancer's Sash and Stealth)

[Paradozen]

Dancer's Sash let's you spend an action to get concealed. Can you use that to hide, dancing into invisibility?

Do you mean the Dancing Scarf? Yes, it doesn't say it's a form of concealment that can't be used to initiate a stealth action, so you're good to go.

But note the action cost:

1. Trigger with a dance performance. That's either Performance action (no mechanical benefit) or a somatic only cantrip that actually requires a check. Which is...none of them without using Unusual Composition feat (an extra action!) on top of Inspire Heroics or Lingering Composition enhancing some other composition. Which would cost you two actions here.

2(3). Activate your scarf to become concealed. If you didn't' do a plain Performance action, you're done here and can't move without the Greater Dancing Scarf.

3. Move action, if you have one left.

A generous GM might let you trigger this off a reaction where you danced away a visual attack with Counter Performance, but I don't think it technically qualifies and it's going to be rare anyway.

Ah, dancing scarf. Don't know where I got sash.

And yeah, the 3 action cost is rough. I just think it's best that you can dance so hard that you cannot be seen, and thought there might be something hiding in the stealth rules to prevent it.

There's wording that if you gain concealment from something that is itself still clearly visible to everyone (such as blur being obviously a person standing there, just blurry), you can't use it for Stealth. So the question is, would a billowing dancing scarf be the same sort of thing? I'd say yes, personally.

I was worried about something like that, good to know. I thought it was a bit too gimicky to be true. Thanks for chiming in.

Hmm..
if you were a Goblin with their stealth ancestral feat..

Wouldn't that work with the scarf? It states you don't need to have concealment the entire time. Just end concealed.. So you could use it to gain stealth and then properly stealth somewhere more valid (like a shelf or something)
