Divine Grace-like abilities

[RigaMortus]

Are there any Divine Grace-like abilities (maybe part of a Prestige Class) or feats available? Preferably ones that mimic Divine Grace but go off another attribute...

Take a look at Armor Class "enhancing" attributes. Everyone adds Dex to AC, that's a given. The Monk can also add Wis to their AC. Duelist can add Int to their AC. I think there is another PrC that can add Cha to their AC.

Does anything like this exist for Divine Grace, where you can add your Int modifier (for example) to your saves?

I'd be willing to look at some 3rd party books if you know of any where Divine Grace is simulated via other attributes (either class-based or feat based).

The paladin gets his CHA bonus to his saves as a form of Divine Grace.

Gee, thanks. Is this in a 3rd party book?

The closest I've seen is Green Ronin's Witch's Handbook which has swapping feats allowing wisdom to be used instead of other attributes in specific applications. For instance using wisdom instead of dex for reflex save bonuses.

Witch hunter in OA grants Kami grace but that is exactly the same as divine grace except that its in a prc that doesn't need to be lawful.

The Mysticism prestige domain in DotF also grants Cha bonus to saves. It explicitly states that if the character already has this ability (i.e., is a Paladin), he gets another +1 to all saves.

I have never see another application of stat->saving throws. I think the rational is that there are already a lot of ways to increase AC, so other psedo-exclusive methods would be OK. Saves are a different matter.

Major resistance, protection from spells, cloak/vest of resistance, and some feats that give luck bonus to saves are about as good as it gets.

The Harper Mage prc from magic of Faerun gives +2 to all saves versus spells or magic as the 5th level class ability.

Multiclassing like crazy is a good way to boost your saves as well as the iron will, great fortitude, lightning reflexes route, plus the improved versions from Joe's Book of Enchantment (the pdf sourcebook). There are also the school specific resistance feats which give +2 versus one school each but those are not that much bang for your buck feat wise.

I've never seen anything like what you want.

Even if it does exist, I would hope that it's only for Str or Int, otherwise you get double stacking from the others that already add to your saves.

Actually, I doubt I'd ever see a Str based power since Str seems to be an extremely overvalued stat in 3e (look at the 1/2 Orc).

As far as game logic goes (please dont roll your eyes like that at me ) I can see the justification for Cha adding to your saves, but not the other two. How does being S-M-R-T help you resist poison that's been injected into your body?

There are a series of feats from Savage Species called cumberous [blank] that allow you a large bonus on one save each at the cost of some penalty, usually at the end of the combat.
