So I have an UnRogue character that uses the Bladed Scarf, in the future I am planning on taking Shadowdancer levels as well.
Recently though, I got a silly idea of dipping into one level of Kapenia Dancer Magus mostly for the ability to use the scarf as a one handed weapon and use two scarves for two weapon fighting.
Is this idea viable? or too stupid to actually go with it?
Take the Varisian tattoo trait for proficiency so you're not burning feats if you're not taking the magus level first.
Keep in mind you're still using the scarf as a one handed weapon, which has the higher than normal penalties for off handed weapons.
Should be interesting.
Respectfully, is there a mechanical advantage that I'm missing here that makes this better than 2 short swords? Or is the interest here entirely based on flavor?

I was aware of the attack penalties, and the trait was honestly the reason I even went on the fool's path to play a rogue with a scarf as a weapon.
Regarding the choice of the scarf, it's pretty silly if you think about it, I decided to have the rogue with the scarf because I made him a Varisian, it just seemed appropriate.

If you think it would be fun find a way to make it work, not only will you enjoy it but the people you play with... especially when you crit/backstab/reduce the big bad to meaty giblets with scarves. :)
I'd say stick with the one scarf. Unchained Rogues can add 1.5x their Dexterity modifier on attacks with 2-handed finesse weapons. Might as well play to that strength.
