Whirling Dervish is a combat maneuver available to Warriors and Rogues.

Description

This is a Martial Stance. The combatant gains the ability to switch with relative ease between targets when making multiple melee attacks. When making a focused MSTRIKE or a two-weapon attack that slays the combatant's targeted creature foe, there is a chance to switch the remaining attacks to another foe in the room. This chance is 5% + 25% per rank.
