As an Action, you can animate one Large or smaller non-magical item within 30ft of you that isn’t being worn or carried. The animated item uses the Dancing Item stat block, which uses your Proficiency Bonus (PB). The item is friendly to you and creatures you chose, and obeys your commands. It lives for 1 hour, until it is reduced to 0 Hit Points, or until you die.<br>

It lives for 1 hour, until it is reduced to 0 Hit Points, or until you die.<br>
In combat, the item shares your Initiative Score, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It can move and use its Reaction on its own, but the only Action it takes on its turn is the Dodge Action, unless you use a Bonus Action to command it to take a different Action. That Action can be one in its Stat Block or some other Action. If you are Incapacitated, the item can take any Action of its choice, not just Dodge.<br>

Once you animate an item with this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a Long Rest, unless you expend a Spell Slot of 3rd Level or higher to do so again. You can have only one item animated by this feature at a time; if you use this Action and already have an item animated from this feature, the first one immediately becomes inanimate.

In addition, you can use an Action to cast the Charm Person Spell without expending a Spell Slot by weaving the incantation with your dance. When cast the Spell in this way, the target doesn’t have Advantage on the Saving Throw if you’re currently fighting it. When you reach 14th Level in this class, you can choose to cast the Irresistible Dance Spell in this way instead.

You learn how to use your wit to distract, confuse, and otherwise sap the confidence and competence of others. When a creature that you can see within 60ft of you hits on an Attack Roll, succeeds on an Ability Check, deals Damage, or regains Hit Points, you can use your Reaction to expend one use of your Bardic Inspiration, subtracting a number from the result equal to one roll of your Bardic Inspiration Die. The creature is unaffected if it can't see or hear you, or if it's Immune to being Charmed.
