One of the things I liked about the Complete Thief's Handbook was that it added the option for Mugging as well as Backstabbing, so that you could try to knock someone out as well as do spike damage - I think building off that idea would be interesting. For example, if a Rogue could use Blackjack (stuns until your next turn) or Garotte (ongoing grapple, 50% of spell failure) or Smoke Bomb (blinds enemy until your next turn), then you'd have real choices where Sneak Attack wouldn't be the best option, and the turn in-between Sneak Attacks would still be engaging.</blockquote>
