Dervish of Dawn into Duellist


Advice


So I'm making a back up character in case my current one bites the dust and wanted to try and go for the duelist prestige class. I was considering a lot of different ways to get the entry requirements but I'm a bit confused on the Dervish of Dawn.

Basically how does the requirement for weapon finesse work with the DD?The DD gets the Dervish Dance combat feat which allows me to apply dex to attack and damage and normally requires weapon finesse as well, but technically the character never took it.

Are you still required to actually take the feat weapon finesse to qualify? Would really hurt taking a feat that is inferior and overlapped by one you already have.

It's given to you as a bonus feat, so the prerequisites are not required for a Dawnflower dervish.

Unfortunately, if you want the duelist prestige class, you'll still need Weapon Finesse to qualify.

If you're looking for similar flavor, you could also take a look at this swashbuckler archetype. ^_^


Dervish Dance is only for scimitars. With Weapon Finess you will be a more complete bard :-)

That's not bad. Merciful even works pretty well for the campaign since most of the time we are trying to take prisoners as opposed to kill.

Don't forget about this trait, either.

I played a character like this once, albeit briefly, and it was great fun. ^_^
