Fire Dancer (Skald/Alchemist)

For centuries, fire dancing has found many uses throughout the world; from tribesmen dancing around totemic bonfires or priests looking to invoke the spirit of an ancient god of flames, to fire eaters and flame jugglers that perform in travelling carnivals. The fire dancer understands that fire is like a wild animal that must be tamed. With this control over fire, the fire dancer can manipulate it like a bard plays his instrument, employing it as an effective weapon by combining his obsessive pyromania and showmanship to enhance his performances with pyrotechnic compounds that both conflagrate and confuse his foes.
