Ask the Guide:

Who among these people is the most (or least) sure-footed?
What does their footwork or way of moving tell me about them?

✪ Gracefulness

Starting ability

Take -1 awareness or -1 spirit and Move yourself with Maneuver advantage. Gain dance-focus equal to your result. Spend dance-focus at any point:

1 focus: regain +1 grace (or reduce grace damage by 1)
4 focus: gain up to 1 overflow grace, which persists only while you have dance-focus.

You lose all dance-focus if you stop actively dancing, such as when you are Restrained or are otherwise held in place. (Dancing for more than a few minutes is not practical and quickly drains your strength.)
