;DERVISH OVERVIEW

'''Characteristics:''' Your training and discipline have molded you into a fearsome warrior. Combining the offensive threat of two weapons and extensive mobility with split-second tactics, defensive training, or sheer overpowering force, you are always a major player in the battlefield.

'''Religion:''' Dervish training leaves little room for worship, though many dervishes pay homage to the Goddess in the Sand, believing her to watch over (though rarely interfere with) their training.

'''Races:''' The life of a dervish requires great physical prowess and a penchant for obedience. Though the dervishes of the world count many races among their ranks, the most common are humans, dragonborn, and dwarves.

=== Dervish Class Features ===

All dervishes share these class features.

;Battle Form

A dervish's training prepares her for utmost perfection in combat using one of two fighting styles. Choose either Sandstorm Form or Scorpion Form and gain its benefit.

'''Sandstorm Form:''' When you shift, you gain a bonus to

'''Scorpion Form:'''

;Two-Weapon Training

When wearing light armor or no armor, you can wield a one-handed heavy blade or light blade in your off hand as if it were an off-hand weapon.

;Weapon Finesse

When you make a melee basic attack, you can use Dexterity instead of Strength for the attack roll and the damage roll.

;Whirling Strikes

When you hit with a melee basic attack with your main-hand weapon or a dervish at-will melee attack with your main-hand weapon, you can make a melee basic attack with your off-hand weapon as a free action.

=== Dervish Powers ===
Dervish powers are called exploits. Regardless of the dervish's Battle Form, her powers focus on fighting with two weapons and tumbling around the battlefield.
