(This is how I would elaborate the idea.)--) You can initiate a dance once per encounter.--) A dance lasts for a number of rounds to half your dervish level (rounded down) plus one round for every four ranks you have in Perform (dance). A first-level dervish can dance just dance for one round; a 6th-level dervish with maxed perform can dance for five. You can voluntarily end a dance early.--) After you dance, you're fatigued for a number of rounds equal to the length of the dance. (Pick when you dance carefully!)--) While you dance, the penalty for attacking with two weapons is reduced by two.Here are some other changes I'd add, since I think as a fighting-performer it'd be fun to make the dervish more Charisma-centric.--) Starting at 1st level: when you're wearing light or no armor and not wielding a shield, any you can apply your Charisma bonus (if any) to your AC.--) At 6th level, you get a special rend attack. If you successfully hit a target with both a primary and an off-hand weapon, and if you can dance for at least one round after the current one, you can perform a "finishing" rend. (People with a better vocabulary than I might give this a cooler name based on terminology for ending dances with a flourish, maybe.) You deal 1d6 points of damage per point of Charisma bonus, plus an additional 1d6 for each round of dancing you have left. (A 6th-level dervish with a Charisma of 18, who could dance for three rounds after the current one, deals 7d6 points of damage--but ends his dance much earlier than he would otherwise.)</blockquote>
