Move in Harmony with the Cosmos

Bards of the College of Dance know that the Words of Creation can't be contained within speech or song; the words are uttered by the movements of celestial bodies and flow through the motions of the smallest creatures. These Bards practice a way of being in harmony with the whirling cosmos that emphasizes agility, speed, and grace.

Dazzling Footwork

While you aren't wearing armor or wielding a Shield, you gain the following benefits.

Dance Virtuoso

You have Advantage on any Charisma (Performance) check you make that involves you dancing.

Unarmored Defense

Your base Armor Class equals 10 plus your Dexterity and Charisma modifiers.

Agile Strikes

When you expend a use of your Bardic Inspiration as part of an action, a Bonus Action, or a Reaction, you can make one Unarmed Strike as part of that action, Bonus Action, or Reaction.

Bardic Damage

You can use Dexterity instead of Strength for the attack rolls of your Unarmed Strikes. When you deal damage with an Unarmed Strike, you can deal Bludgeoning damage equal to a roll of your Bardic Inspiration die plus your Dexterity modifier, instead of the strike's normal damage. This roll doesn't expend the die.
