I need help with my Magus in Pathfinder.


Homebrew and House Rules


I have a Magus in Pathfinder, but I'm looking for the Dervish Dance skill but can not find in any manual but in intenet yes.
The question is: Can I get the skill? I can find the skill in some manual?
Sorry for my english and thanks.
I need help please.


Try here. You have to dump two skill ranks into Perform Dance and need the "weapon finesse" feat.


The Dervish Dance feat is in the Inner Sea World Guide, page 286 - see book here.


This is the homebrew forum, which is for people to make up their own material for the game. However, since the word "Suggestions" preceeds "House Rules/Homebrew", I can see how it is confusing. Anyhow, welcome to the forums!

I will make a couple of points. I hope they are helpful.

1) These message boards are all for the Pathfinder game, so there is no need to explain that part to us. :-)

2) Dervish Dance is a character option called a feat. A feat is something that is selected one time only and grants a benefit fo some kind to the character. Some feats require the character to qualify for them by having other feats or points in certain skills.

3) A skill is something very different. All skills (such as Acrobatics, Perception, and Diplomacy) are available to all characters. At each level, a character has a points that can be spend on skills to improve how well the character uses the skill. Some classes are better at other when it comes to certain skills. For example, fighters are generally better climbers, while wizards know more about magic.

4) Generally, I recommend only using options that can be found in the books you own. Its the most reliable way to find the options you have chosen and understand how they work. However, there are also many options available to you on the internet. I recommend using THIS WEBSITE to search for what you are looking for.

*grabs Ciaran by the arm and pulls him aside* Try not to go too hard on the guy who's first language is clearly not English, not everything translates well so its obvious spelling out exactness of rules without going over everything isn't going to help. His question was answered and he probably knows how to implement it in his own language, no need to berate him.


I was trying to be helpful. I thought that including a smiley face would help to communicate that. Since my tone of voice isn't carried over into writing, I understand how it would be misleading. Dang internet. You're not the first to wiggle-waggle their finger at me for this.


I would recommend just going for a finessable weapon, like a rapier, and making it +1 Agile.

Alternately, if you have 13 strength, snag a Elven Curve-Blade. Two-handed, yet finessable. Ah, the Power Attacks you can pull...
