Bonus Feat

Minor Teleportation
Specifics: At tenth level, the Whirling Dervish gains the supernatural ability to disappear from sight and travel a short distance without the enemy finding her (equal to the ethereal jaunt spell for 10 rounds). The Whirling Dervish may do this two times per day.
Use: Selected.
Springboard
The Whirling Dervish somersaults into the air, bouncing off any foes in her way to pass beyond them nimbly and gaining a +4 Dodge Bonus to AC for 2 rounds. In addition, any foes he touches during these gymnastics must pass a fortitude save (DC: 10 + WD level + Dex mod.) or be stunned for two rounds. The Whirling Dervish may use this ability as often as once per minute as long as she is wearing light or no armor and is unencumbered.
