Rogue variant class abilities

[Arabesu]

I've found the possibility of the variant class ability for the rogue from the PHBII rather interesing. Also the swashbuckler...

I've noticed several people mention other variant rogue abilities on these boards. Is there a list broken down by class summarizing all of these variant abilities, names and source books, pg etc?

So far for the rogue I know of:

Disrupting Blow (PHBII, pg???) - give up uncanny dodge at fourth to penalize an opponent's AC instead of sneak attacking.

There is an ability relating to sneak attacks versus undead etc from Dungeonscape; what was this called? Was it really also published in the Ravenloft campaign book? My DM and I don't have Dungeonscape, but he does have the Ravenloft book and he couldn't track it down in there. I'm pretty sure this was supposed to be a variant class ability rather than a feat...

No, but there really, really should be. I'm looking at compiling something like this myself as soon as I get the chance...

There is this strange listing... crystalkeep???

They have many class variants and other stuff there.

Wow that crystalkeep page is sweeeeet. Although it was last updated back in February, so the "0.5xsneak-attack-to-constructs-and-undead-while-flanking-instead-of-trap-sense" variant, a more recent variant I suppose, is ommitted.

I wonder if this variant is a hoax... no one has acknowledged it in this thread...

No hoax, that one is from Dungeonscape which I think came out in February.

I *love* the alternate rogue features. I've got a rogue/crusader whose only standard rogue ability is Uncanny Dodge. The pliability is awesome.

Bts,

What did you give up for evasion?? Thats a pretty big ability IMO, so it'd have to be a pretty big one in my opinion.

Evasion is useless if you're wearing medium or heavy armor. I took the Spell Reflection variant (Complete Mage p35) that lets you reflect rays that miss you. My PC has decent Dex, Dodge, and Combat Expertise, so it's potentially a useful option!
