Mayhaps I am a bit angsty...though I still think Epic Material might have been more appropriately presented and could have been marketed better.
Oh...present...had to share this.
Old school drow (a heavy revision of the new school drow, essentially giving them back their fiend folio abilities that got clipped off in 3.0). I know it has nothing to do with the topic at hand...but....it does included a few two-handed feats of yours...though I dare not detail those. If they want to use the old school drow properly...then they gotta buy Ascension.

Something that isn’t stone but that is disguised as stone also counts as unusual stonework. A drow who merely comes within 10 feet of unusual stonework can make a Search check as if he were actively searching, and a drow can use the Search skill to find stonework traps as a rogue can.
