Skills

Most Disco Bandit skills are learned from The Department of Shadowy Arts and Crafts. All Disco Bandits begin with the free skills Disco Aerobics and Suckerpunch. Completing the Spookyraven Manor Quest grants you the Tango of Terror skill.

Disco Bandits (as well as Accordion Thieves) have the option to steal an item from a monster when they get the jump on it.

As of Feb 13, 2007, Disco Bandits can chain their disco dance skills together in combat for additional attacks. See Disco Combos for more details.

Rave Skills
N/A	Gothy Handwave	You know how goth chicks dance, right? Just sort of waving their arms around and wiggling their fingers?

Allows you to study ravers to learn their dance skills.	Combat	1	N/A
N/A	Break It On Down	This is one of the new-fangled dances the kids are doing these days. It's pretty good in a fight, though. Against something with breakable knees, anyway.	5-15 damage Stuns for 1 turn (100%)	Combat	2	N/A
N/A	Pop and Lock It	This is basically the same as the classic "Doin' the Robot" move, but modernized and made a little more interesting. I guess the more things change, the more they stay people pretending to be slow-moving robots.	5-20 damage	Combat	2	N/A
N/A	Run Like the Wind	By pretending to run away without actually running away, you can easily trick an opponent into letting their guard down. Man, what will those kids think of next?	5-20 damage	Combat	2	N/A
