A non-standard route to playing a dervish.

You require Weapon focus, Combat expertise, Dodge and Mobility to get into Dervish. On top of that you are using Gnomish quickrazors and want the TWF three on top of Font of Inspiratons? Where are you pulling all the feats?

If necessary, just take TWF and use Gloves of the Balanced Hand for ITWF. Even with that trick you need six feats and the Fonts...

[Nytemare3701]

Human: Expeditious Dodge
Flaw: TWF
Flaw: Mobility
1: Combat Expertise
3: EWP: Quickrazor (Stupid BAB requirement >.<)
6: Weapon Focus: Quickrazor

EDIT: Extra sources of feats (Like antifeats) make the build dramatically stronger (FoI abuse)

Before the ToB was released, I favoured taking Barbarian 1/Fighter 2/Ranger 2/Dervish 10/Tempest 5.  Obviously, that's before Factotum was released, as well.

i used a thri-kreen, fighter 2, ranger 2 to qualify for dervish, likewise before....

[Nytemare3701]

How do you feel about FoI abuse on a dervish though?

[nijineko]

i'm to lazy to calc how many uses that would work out to... guess i'd want to see how many encounters you could survive.

Honestly its the mobile full attack that's going to be pulling the weight here. The standard actions are going to be either for Iron Heart Surge or utility UMD uses. Two extra standards minimum would be decent...anything over three would have serious diminishing returns since White Raven Tactics is your kill switch and isn't a standard action.
