d20 Ballerinas

By way of a preview of a couple forthcoming releases, here Items and feats that did not make the final cut. It's not that they're no good, it's that they didn't fit the tones of the final edits!

NEW FEAT 

Captivating Gaze
You have learned to hold an audience's attention through presence alone. 
   Prerequisite: Cha 13, Charisma-based class feature or 2 ranks in Perform (dance)
   Benefit: You gain a +2 bonus on Diplomacy and Gather Information checks.When you use Perform (dance) as part of a social encounter, observers treat you as one attitude category more favorable (hostile becomes unfriendly, unfriendly becomes indifferent, etc.) for 1 hour after your performance ends.

NEW MAGIC ITEMS

Leotard of the Radiant Performer
Aura: Moderate enchantment; Weight: 1 lbs
   This dazzling leotard is covered in thousands of tiny golden sequins that catch and reflect light in mesmerizing patterns. When the wearer moves, the garment seems to glow with an inner radiance, drawing all eyes to the performer within.
   Abilities: The wearer gains a +4 competence bonus on Perform checks and a +2 enhancement bonus to Charisma. Additionally, the wearer gains a +2 competence bonus on Bluff and Diplomacy checks. 
   Special: Three times per day, the wearer may activate the leotard as a swift action to gain the benefits of glitterdust centered on themselves, though they automatically succeed on the saving throw and are unaffected by the blindness. The dazzling display lasts for 3 rounds and affects all creatures within 10 feet.


Leotard of Strength and Supple Grace
Aura: Moderate transmutation; Weight: 2 lbs
   This deep crimson leotard is crafted from reinforced silk interwoven with threads of mithral. Despite this, the garment moves like water, conforming perfectly to the wearer's body and never restricting motion.
   Abilities: The wearer gains a +3 bonus to both Strength and Dexterity. Additionally, the wearer gains a +4 competence bonus on Escape Artist checks and may add their Strength modifier (if positive) to Tumble checks in addition to their Dexterity modifier.
   Special: The leotard grants its wearer the ability to treat their carrying capacity as if their Strength score were 4 points higher (this stacks with the enhancement bonus the leotard provides).


By further way of preview, here are covers for the forthcoming ballet-related d20 System releases... keep an eye out at DriveThruRPG!
