Dance Mastery
Starting at 20th level your Charisma and Dexterity scores increase by 4. Your maximum for those scores is now 24.
Temporary Hit Points Rules
Some spells and special abilities confer temporary hit points to a creature. Temporary hit points aren't actual hit points; they are a buffer against damage a pool of hit points that protect you from injury.
When you have temporary hit points and take damage, the temporary hit points are lost first, and any leftover damage carries over to your normal hit points. For example, if you have 5 temporary hit points and take 7 damage, you lose the temporary hit points and then take 2 damage.
Because temporary hit points are separate from your actual hit points, they can exceed your hit point maximum. A character can, therefore, be at full hit points and receive temporary hit points.
Healing can't restore temporary hit points, and they can't be added together. If you have temporary hit points and receive more of them, you decide whether to keep the ones you have or to gain the new ones. For example, if a spell grants you 12 temporary hit points when you already have 10, you can have 12 or 10, not 22.
If you have 0 hit points, receiving temporary hit points doesn't restore you to consciousness or stabilize you. They can still absorb damage directed at you while you're in that state, but only true healing can save you.
Unless a feature that grants you temporary hit points has a duration, they last until they're depleted or you finish a long rest.

Theatrical Style
Exceptional interpretation
Starting at 1st level, you are a master of mimicry and performance. When you see a creature make an ability check, you can use your reaction to memorize the result (not the modifier).

Amazing troupe
Starting at 11th When you use your Special Dance, you can create a duplicate illusory version of yourself within 10 feet. This illusion lasts until the start of your next turn. The first time a creature targets you with an attack during that time, you can choose to make it target the illusion instead. The illusion is destroyed after being targeted.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus per long rest.
Character or reality?
Your mind and presence become indistinguishable from illusion. You gain the following benefits:

- You are immune to Zone of Truth and Divination spells unless you choose to be affected.
- Once per long rest, when you are reduced to 0 HP, you can drop to 1 HP instead and immediately move up to half your speed without provoking attacks — leaving behind a fading illusion of yourself.
Rhythmic Style
Guarding Rhythm
As long as you end your movement within 5 feet of an ally, you may form a subtle bond. Until the start of your next turn:
- the first time that ally takes damage, they may reduce the damage by an amount equal to your Dancer level.
- And they can add 1d4 to the next saving throw they make.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier per long rest.
Beat of Protection
Starting at 5th level While affected by your Special Dance, a creature can use its reaction when hit by an attack to roll a d4 and subtract the result from the damage taken.
The creature may do this once per turn while the temporary hit points from your dance remains.
Echoing Rythm
Starting at 11th level When you use your Special Dance, its effects echo with rhythmic energy. At the start of your next turn, you may choose one additional creature within 10 feet of you. That creature gains the same benefit from your Special Dance as if it had been affected when you first activated it.

- You have resistance to all damage.
- The radius of your Special Dance increases to 30 feet.

Resonant Voice
When you choose this style at 1st level, you learn the Thaumaturgy cantrip. Additionally, you can use your voice to emit sound waves that influence combat.
- Whenever you move at least 10 feet during your turn, you can emit a sound wave that deals 1d4 sonic damage to one creature within 10 feet of you (Constitution save for half damage). The damage increases to 2d4 at 6th level, 3d4 at 14th level, and 4d4 at 18th level.
- When you emit this sound wave, you can choose to move an additional 5 feet without provoking opportunity attacks.
Harmonic Surge
Starting at 5th level when you use your Special Dance, you unleash a surge of harmonic energy that boosts your allies and weakens enemies.
For 1 minute, allies who benefit from your Special Dance gain the following benefits:
- When they hit with an attack, they deal additional thunder damage equal to your Charisma modifier.
- When they take damage, they can use their reaction to become partially intangible through vibrating sound, allowing them to move up to 5 feet through creatures or objects (no squeezing) without provoking opportunity attacks.

Projection Twin

While active:
- You can perform Special Dance or Sonic Strike as if you were in the duplicate’s space.
- When you or an ally within 10 feet of the duplicate are targeted by an attack, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack roll.
- When you or your duplicate move at least 10 feet during your turn, you can emit a burst of sonic energy (as per Resonant Voice). You can do this once per turn.
You can use this feature once per long rest. At 17th level, twice per long rest.
Miku Miku Beam

On a successful save, they take half damage and are not stunned.
