Is Dervish Dance plus Mystic Bold TWF possible ?


Rules Questions

Creating a mystic bolt requires the hand to be free, but the bolt appears only briefly, so a warlock using mystic bolts has a free hand any time she isn't attacking with a mystic bolt.

If I am TWF with a Scimitar in the main, and an Bolt in the off-hand, am I considered to have a free hand during the attacks with the main hand ?


RAW, debatable. RAI, definitely not---they've made it clear they don't want anything remotely TWF going on with Dervish Dance.

So basically "only if your GM is into loopholes."

Sovereign Court

The full attack is an action which happens all at once, so during your full attack the hand is full.

Not unless you put in a third hand somewhere.


This kind of thing is why slashing grace goes out of its way to say 'no' in about a half dozen different ways to TWF style abilities.

Which still hasn't prevented people from putting in posts to find ways to do just that.

which is why they didn't try to go overboard with dervish dance, since it is hard to draw a unilateral line and attempts just make the feat clunky. But all the 'dex to damage on the unarmed strikes too' threads, they got paranoid.


If Paiuo didnt make the Warlock so s#%~ty, I wouldnt need to make post looking to make it viable. Its not like this build would still be pretty mediocre...
