If all else fails, 3e has an incredibly bustling homebrew fanbase, and there's a few places (I think Giant in the Playgound has the biggest) where you can browse selections to find a class or PrC that best fits your ideas.
Sorry, haven't been able to get on. I am not interested at all in casting. And don't want to play a burly armored character, nor am I interested in range or being a skill monkey. I am okay with some sneak, but not to the point of wanting to go rogue. A character who can dodge a bit, and deal nice damage, maybe with some interesting tricks is ideal. maybe the PrC sun/dark ninja thing from ToB?
