The Dancing Men are magic items that bear a curse. They are puppets that serve as instruments of domination and manipulation. They were created by Giuseppe as normal toys but corrupted by Odiare's movement into Ravenloft.

Each dancing man may be used to control a character of a class corresponding to the doll's design. (The "fool" doll is used to control 0-Level Characters) for up to an hour per day.) As items that operate by sympathetic magic, the dancing men requires an object of physical or emotional connection to the target be appended to the puppet.
Curse
Should the person being manipulated perform an evil act while under control, the manipulator suffers the Powers Check with an increased chance of failure. In addition, should the manipulated person die, the manipulator person may also die.
