Stalwart Dervish

[Bertious]

First of all appologies for yet annother dervish dancing character build but i've been messing around with a dervish dancer tank idea and this is what i have so far. The basic idea is to combine Stalwart with crane style on a dex build barbarian to see how viable he would be with a rather cheesy Dawnflower Dervish dip to get Dervish dance early and without wasting a feat on weapon finess.

Stalwart Dervish:

Human 20 point buy favored class barbarian (+1/3 superstitious bonus)
11 Str 1 points
20 Dex 7 points +2 race +1 level 4 +2 belt
14 Con 5 points
13 Int 3 points
12 Wis 2 points
12 Cha 2 points

1st Dawnflower Dervish Bard 1: Feats: Dervish Dance, Endurance, Die Hard
2nd Invulnerable Urban Barbarian 1:

5th Invulnerable Rager/Urban Barbarian: Stalwart

HP 45
Ac 22 (5 armor 5 dex 1 dodge 1 deflection) [23 rage]
DR 1/- (5/- Fighting Defensive = 2 from basic fighting defensive 1 from 5 ranks acrobatics, and 1 from crane style)

Wil +5

Melee Fighting Defensive +1 Scimitar +8 1d6+6 (+10/+8 rage or dance [+12/+10 both])

Traits Maestro of the Society Magical Knack Bard

Skills Perception 5 (+9), Perform Dance 5 (8), Acrobatics 5 (13) 15 skill points to spend

Abilities Perform 8/day (+2 to hit and damage), 10 rounds of controlled rage/day (+4 dex = +2 ac +2 to hit +2 to damage), Crowd Control (+1 to hit and ac if adjacent to 2+ enemies), Invulnerability (DR 1/- for every 2 barbarian levels double vs non lethal), Superstitious rage power (+3 to saves vs magic while raging) Extreme Endurance (Choose hot or cold depending on game)

Spells Currently thinking Cure light wounds and Feather Step but open to suggestions also considering adding the animal speaker template for a free summon nature's ally 1 spell.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be great.
