Often from an upper-class background, the dandy is a bard with a refined sense of style. Unwilling to give in to the demands of armor or cumbersome weapons, he compensates with magic and finesse. The dandy is a martial artist of the Way of Force.

Class Information

This is a force armor archetype.

Publisher: Purple Duck Games.

Class: Bard.

Hit Die: d8.

Starting Wealth: 3d6 × 10 gp (average 105gp.) In addition, a dandy starts the game with a courtier's outfit at no cost and is strongly recommended to buy at least 10 gp worth of jewelry to compliment his appearance

Class Abilities

This archetype affects the following class abilities.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency

A dandy is proficient with the club, crossbow (hand), dagger, dart, longsword, rapier, sap, shortsword, sword cane, and whip. If eastern weapons are in use in the campaign he is also proficient with the hanbo and fighting fan. If firearms are common in the campaign, the dandy is proficient with the coat pistol.

Dandies are not proficient with armor or shields, and cannot ignore spell failure chance when casting spells in armor.

Mage Armor (Ex)

Add mage armor to the dandy's spell list as a first level bard spell and as a bonus known spell. At 4th level the dandy becomes a master at using force armors, and the armor bonus of mage armor and bracers of armor stack when worn by a dandy.

 Add ''mage armor'' to the dandy's spell list as a first level bard spell and as a bonus known spell. At 4th level the dandy becomes a master at using force armors, and the armor bonus of ''mage armor'' and ''bracers of armor'' stack when worn by a dandy.
-=== Mage Block (Su) ===
-While under ''mage armor'', the dandy adds a +1 shield bonus to armor class. This is considered force armor, and improves by +1 for every 4 levels (+1 at levels up to 3, +2 at levels 4-7, +3 at levels 8-11 and so on). The dandy must have one hand free, he cannot carry a shield or two weapons when using this ability.
