Okay, so in an earlier post I threatened to post some of the character classes I built for my BESM d20 game. Here is the Dancer, a Final Fantasy class which doesn't have a direct counterpart in D&D/Pathfinder. Note that my classes not only have a Hit Die but also a Mana Die to determine how many mana points you get per level; for the Dancer the Mana Die gets a bonus at each level equal to the dancer's Charisma bonus.
Dancer (BESM/FF)
The Dancer is an unusual type of mage who creates magical effects with her (only females may become Dancers) special dancing forms. The complex, fascinating dance movements generate magical power which the performer can use to affect her audience. With their deftness, grace, charm, and balance, Dancers also make great spies.
Abilities: Dexterity and Charisma are important for the Dancer.
Alignment: any
Hit Die: d6
Mana Die: d8

* Here, Heart is a class of magic spells I built with BESM which affect mental/emotional states. For D&D/Pathfinder you could replace this with a spell-casting level but of only Enchantment spells or (better yet) even make up a custom Dancer spell list.
**consult with DM about developing your character's customized Special Attack.
