I'm aware that Swashbucklers and Daring Champions can use Charisma instead of Int to meet requirements, but that doesn't meet my goals - I'd like to know if there's any class or prestige class dips that would allow a character to ignore Int requirements on feats other than Brawler. I'm working on an underfoot adept / maneuver master character that's probably going to multi out to lore warden sometime after 6th level, and I want to be able to get at least one feat that requires Int 13. But I really can't afford to spend point buy on that many stats.

Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Tekko-Kagi): "Also known as an iron claw, this device consists of a fanlike structure of three or more 10-inch blades secured to a sturdy handle strapped to the forearm of the off hand. It can be used as an offensive weapon or defensively like a buckler, or used to disarm an opponent without provoking an attack of opportunity. It provides its owner with a +2 circumstance bonus on attempts to disarm or sunder swords or other slender-bladed weapons." (emphasis mine)
Effectively, you get most of the benefit of Improved Disarm (don't provoke, often +2 to disarm checks) for one feat instead of two (since there is no Combat Expertise requirement) and no Int minimum. You can also use it to gain a +1 shield bonus on rounds where you're not using it to attack/disarm; it can't benefit from enhancement bonuses for a higher shield bonus, however, as it's not a shield.
