Message: <blockquote data-quote="zoroaster100" data-source="post: 2950128" data-attributes="member: 8538">The Dervish is a prestige class from Complete Warrior that, among other things, allows use of a class ability called Dervish Dance (at first 1/day, but up to 5/day at 9th level).  While using this ability, the Dervish can take a full attack action with melee attacks and still move up to his speed, as long as he moves at least 5 feet between each attack.  The Dervish also gets a +1 to attack and damage with melee weapons while using Dervish Dance, and this goes up all the way to a +5 at 9th level Dervish.  At 10th level, the Dervish can once per day use the ability A Thousand Cuts to make doulble the normal number of attacks while performing a full attack.  Other class abilities include an AC bonus of +1 to +3, strong Ref and Will saves, fast movement and the ability to take 10 on Tumble checks in combat (so the Dervish can, with a few ranks, ensure he can always tumble to avoid attacks of opportunity while moving between attacks doing the Dervish Dance), a +2 on initiative bonus, and bonus Spring Attack and Cleave (though Cleave only during Dervish Dance), etc.  Some drawbacks of the class are that he can only use light or no armor and no shield to get the AC bonus or to do the Dervish Dance, and that, until 9th level Dervish, the Dervish Dance leaves the Dervish fatigued (as with Barbarian Rage) and the Dance only lasts for 1 round for every two ranks of Perform (dance) and can only be used once per encounter.So is the Dervish overpowered (more powered than a single class Fighter or Barbarian, for instance).</blockquote>
