Kapenia Dancer

For some Varisians, their traditional dances pulse with the power of their ancestors. These dancers incorporate their kapenias—scarves embroidered with the history of the bearer’s clan—into their dances, weaving deadly whirling steps with the power of their ancestors.

The kapenia dancer is an archetype of the magus class.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency

A kapenia dancer is proficient in simple weapons and bladed scarves. Additionally, a kapenia dancer can wield a bladed scarf as a one-handed melee weapon. A kapenia dancer is not proficient with armor or shields and suffers the normal arcane spell failure chance when casting magus spells while armored.

Diminished Spellcasting

A kapenia dancer can cast one fewer spell of each level than normal. If this reduces the number to 0, he can cast spells of that level only if his Intelligence allows bonus spells of that level.

Canny Defense (Ex)

At 1st level, when a kapenia dancer is wielding a bladed scarf, he gains the canny defense ability.
