Songstress
"The red carpet has teeth."
Nobody owns the spotlight like the Songstress - a singing, dancing, slice-and-dicing class that's certain to draw attention wherever it goes. Whether they're rustic minstrels, shrouded dancers, or world-famous idol singers, when the Songstress hits the stage, somebody's going to break a leg.
The Songstress is a support class with potent abilities that sweep the whole battlefield - magical song abilities that will have your whole party cheering your buffs, and dance moves that will have the enemies cursing the unstoppable effects you lay down. Signature tricks: Declare open season with Brakedance or Dirty Dancing, quicken the party in a pinch with Last Song, and if the support role starts boring you, slice some fiends open with the Sword Dance.

Hide
AP: 130
Type: Action
Technique, Stance.
Target: Self
40D F40 (15D F15)
Quickly glancing around, the Songstress finds a safe place to hide for a bit. When Hide is first used, the 40 delay is initially paid, and until the Songstress' next turn they are considered to not be on the battle field - and as such cannot be targeted or effected by anything until their return. After the end of the initial 40D, the Songstress can either choose to return to the field and take his next action, or continue to hide for another 15D F15, upon which the choice to return or remain hidden will be presented again, until the Songstress finally decides to stop hiding.

AP: 150
Type: Support

Closed Position
AP: 130
Type: Support
Grants 2 ranks of Evasion and 1 rank of Accuracy when the Songstress is in the front row.
Dual Wield
AP: 150
Type: Support
Whenever the Songstress makes an attack with the Weapon keyword, they strike twice, as a Multi-Hit effect - they roll to hit twice and apply damage for each successful hit, though they pay costs only once. Any non-damage effect of the ability is applied a maximum of once - Delay Buster, for example, will delay by 10D if it hits at least once, but will not delay by 20D if both hits land. Added CoSes may be rolled once for each hit as well. Dual Wield always increases the accuracy of statuses, effects, and conditions. but never increases their magnitude. Increase the delay of the equipped weapons by +10D.
Equipment: The Songstress may equip two weapons at once, holding one in each hand. (The second goes in the shield slot.) Dual Wield may be used with the Dual Wield-OK weapons: Daggers, Claws, and Whips. Abilities with [W] notation in their delays use the highest delay of the two equipped weapons. The first hit is with one weapon, and the second is with the other - each hit inflicts damage based on the weapon it was performed with. Properties granted by the weapon's type (such as Ranged, Piercing, and any Accuracy or Critical ranks granted by type) apply only to the strike with that weapon. (That is, if you are striking with a knife and a claw, each hit does not bear both the knife's inherent Accuracy I and the claw's inherent Critical 4 and Impact.) Some equipment properties such as "Elemental" and "Added Status" explicitly state that they apply to strikes with that weapon - all others benefit both strikes.
Bare: Works as described above. Additionally, remove the Ranged and Stuns properties form the Songstress' Strength, replacing them with Accuracy 1, Critical 3 and Impact instead.
Remodeling: Allows the character to equip any Light weapon in both hands. When doing so, roll to hit (and then damage) twice rather than once.
