In Complete Adventurer pg. 81. The rules say that the requirements for a "Tempest" is: Dodge, Improved Two-Weapon Fighting, Mobility, Spring Attack, Two-Weapon Fighting.

The odd thing here is, that to take Improved Two-Weapon Fighting you need to have 17 in dex (PHB pg. 96). However the example of a Tempest in Complete Adventurer (pg. 82), "Dwotia Keenaxe", Female dwarf fighter 6/tempest 3 only has 16 in dex.

My question is, has there been any errata to that prestige class, or perhaps even to the feat Imp. Two-weapon Fighting?

Thanks

Example NPCs are notorious for small errors. There is, of course, the sample Anarchic Initiate from Complete Psionic (who technically couldn't qualify for the PrC), but that's a different story.

Just add in an item that gives +2 Dexterity. Seriously, WotC has explicitly said that increases to ability scores (even temporary ones) can be used to qualify for feats. Which makes qualifying for some epic feats a lot easier.

Where exactly can I find this statement from WotC? My DM would like to see it :(

A feat sometimes requires you to have a certain ability
score, which is the case with Two-Weapon Fighting (it
requires Dex 15). A character has, say, Dex 13, but wears
an item, in this case gloves of Dexterity +2, and now her Dex
score is 15. Can she take the feat and have it be active only
when she wears the item?
Actually yes, she could take the feat, but she would lose the
use of the feat if, for whatever reason, she loses the bonus from
the item.
