Special Abilities
Poison: Save vs poison or dance for 2d6 turns (suffering from painful, jerking spasms that resemble a macabre dance).
Onlookers: Viewers of one affected by the poison must save versus spells or begin dancing in the same fashion, for as long as the poisoned victim.
Dancing: Those affected suffer a -4 penalty to attack rolls and AC. After 5 turns of dancing, they become exhausted: fall to the ground, helpless.
