Dance-Is-Life and Life-Is-Dance

A pair of elfin androgynous twins, tall, lithe, and graceful. Their hair glimmer in the light as they move and their revealing clothing are made of delicate gossamer and translucent scales.

Party Crashing (Su) If a social event will involve dancing, Dance and Life can find their way in and fit without raising suspicions. Any guards, servants, and organizers that fail a Will saving throws (DC 21) consider Dance and Life's valid guests.  Even on a successful save guards and servants might fail to consider anything is amiss if they are not given particular reason to question Dance and Life's presence. Dance and Life also get +20 bonus to Bluff , Diplomacy, and Disguise checks to fit in such events. This is a charm effect. The saving throw DC is Charisma-based.

Stand By Me (Su) Dance-Is-Life and Life-Is-Dance can teleport to each other as a move action.

Sweet Harmony (Su) When Dance-Is-Life or Life-Is-Dance are dancing in pair or a complex group dance, any hit point damage they or their dancing partners suffer is equally split between all the dancers (rounded down). Other effects carried by the attack affect the initial target normally. Having multiple dancing pairs at the same time, is not a group dance.

Notable Gear gossamer clothes (+1 deflection bonus to AC)


Siblings, lovers, two bodies of a single dual entity—the exact relation between Dance-Is-Life and Life-Is-Dance is unknown, and they are not telling, responding to impolite queries with "we are what we are, we are dance".

Despite being fey, Dance and Life are often encountered among mortals, visiting balls, receptions, and other events that give occasion for them to dance—together or with mortals. They are superb dancers, easily comprehending new moves and expanding on them, though they have strong inclination to turning every dance rather... Sensual.
