| Dervish Dance (Ex) | Twice a day, but no more than once per encounter, a drow weapons master may take a full attack action using only melee attacks and still move up to his speed. He must move at least five feet between each attack, may not return to a square he just exited and must only be using slashing weapons. He is still subject to attacks of opportunity, but may Tumble as part of his move. The drow weapons master gains a +2 to attack and damage rolls during the dance. A drow weapons master may not Move Silently or use any ability that requires concentration or to remain still during a dance. He can, however, use Combat Expertise. A drow weapons master may not be in a rage and a dance simultaneously. When the dance ends, the drow weapons master becomes fatigued for the rest of the encounter. The dance lasts for 8 rounds. |

| Ambidexterity (Ex) | A drow weapons master's penalty for fighting with two weapons is reduced by 2. |
| Two-Weapon Versatility (Ex) | Any time a drow weapons master is allowed to apply the effects of the feats Improved Critical, Weapon Focus, and Weapon Specialization to weapon he is wielding, he may apply the benefit to the other weapon as well. |
| Poison (Ex) | An opponent hit by a drow weapons master’s poisoned bolts must succeed on a DC 13 Fortitude save or fall unconscious. After 1 minute, the subject must succeed on another DC 13 Fortitude save or remain unconscious for 2d4 hours. |
