08-26-05, 11:19 AM Frenzied Bezerker is the obvious choice. I believe that Sandstorm has a PrC that allows you to slowly turn into a lich. I'm thinking Sandshaper but I could be wrong.

08-26-05, 12:56 PM Fatespinner, once a day it gives you a reroll, forces an opponent to reroll, and stabilizes you if your hps go below 0.

08-26-05, 01:55 PM Well it's 3.0 but the Telflammar Shadowlord from Unapproachable East gets Shadow Discorporation. It lets you make a Reflex save to vanish instead of taking damage that would reduce you to 0 hp or below.

08-26-05, 04:40 PM Fiery Discorporation psionic power (Kineticist 5, any psionic-using class can take as Expanded Knowledge)

You use your mastery of energy to cheat death. If you are within 30 feet of an open flame, you can use this power. Any damage that would reduce you to 0 hit points or lower instead has a chance to discorporate you. You attempt a Will save (DC 5 + damage dealt); if it succeeds, you simply break apart into dozens of flitting tongues of flame and vanish, along with all your gear and anything you are holding or carrying.

One day later, you reappear adjacent to an open flame nearest to the place where you discorporated, seeming to materialize from the fire (you choose where you appear along the perimeter of that open flame). While discorporated, you do not exist—you can do nothing, nor can any of your enemies do anything to you.

Fatespinner - reroll 1/day

Luck Domain - reroll 1/day

Telflammar Shadowlord - shadow discorporation

Streetfighter (sort of) - Stand Tough v. physical blow ony

Rogue - Defensive Roll

Shadowdancer - Defensive Roll

Thief-Acrobat - Defensive Roll

Nightsong Infiltrator - Defensive Roll

Master of Many Forms (sort of) - find a form that has this property as an (ex) ability.

There may be more. That was just a quick glance through a couple of books. I didn't check through the other FR books I have, so there may be a couple more to add to the list.

Cheers

Otto :)
