Whirling Dervish [Fighter] Prerequisites: Dexterity 15+, BAB +12, Spring Attack, Bounding Assault (PHBII), Whirlwind Attack, CleaveBenefit: When you make a full attack while wearing light or no armor, carrying no more than a Light load, not using a shield and wielding a melee slashing weapon, you may perform a combat dance, allowing you to move up to your land speed while attacking. You must move a minimum of 5ft in between each attack, and you cannot return to a square she just exited (Though you may return to that square later during her full attack). You are subject to attacks of opportunity while performing this combat dance, but may tumble normally as part of your move. If prevented from completing your move, you are also prevented from finishing your full attack.

Skills that require concentration or standing still - Such as Hide, Move Silently or Search - Cannot be used during the dance, nor can the dance be executed while under the effects of a Rage or Frenzy or while Fatigued, though if you possess Bardic Music or a similar ability, you may use it while dancing.

You can perform the dance for a number of rounds equal to your BAB before it ends, though you can of course end it before then. Once the dance ends, you're Fatigued for a number of rounds equal to twice the number of rounds your spent dancing - Thus if you dance for 3 rounds, you're Fatigued for the next 6 rounds. Special: You cannot perform the combat dance granted by this feat and the Dervish Dance class ability of the Dervish prestige class (Complete Warrior, p.25) at the same time. If you already possess that class feature, you cannot obtain this feat; If you possess this feat and later attain that class feature, replace this with any other Fighter bonus feat you qualify for.
