[QUOTE="Kunimatyu, post: 3823917, member: 22057"] I really think that it's worth some sacrifices in other areas to keep the dervish from incurring penalties when TWFing -- it really stands out as an ability, and gives the dervish something unique. My thought: Roll Perform(dance), deal that much bonus Rend damage. Simple, and can be tweaked fairly high in E6 if the player wants to focus on it. How about we have the Dervish Dance as an ability that you can use a number of times per day = your dervish level + Cha mod, and it works like this: Dervish Dance(Ex): As a swift action, you may move up to your full speed while making a full attack with melee weapons. You must move at least 5 feat between each attack, and you cannot reenter a square you just exited(though you may reenter it later in the turn). You may use this ability a number of times per day equal to your dervish class level + your Charisma modifier. Slashing Blades(Ex): You treat the scimitar as a light weapon. While using light slashing weapons, your penalties for Two-Weapon Fighting are decreased by 2. Rending Finish(Ex): When you hit an enemy with your primary and off-hand weapon in the same turn, you may roll a Perform(dance) and deal that much slashing damage to your enemy. If you use this ability, you may not Dervish Dance until you have meditated for one minute in a nonthreatening situation. I agree - Dervishes probably shouldn't get a Cha bonus to AC if their damage can edge out a barbarian's. And I just took care of the Quickdraw thing in the above abilities. :) [/QUOTE]
