Are there any feats that will allow you to deflect/reflect a Ray spell?

I was looking at Arcanopath Monk (Dragon Mag Compendium) and I really like that ability but all the other abilities seem weak (Deafen a mage for 1 round, make him go mute for 1 round, etc...). Occult slayer has a similar ability but it doesn't increase your Monk abilities like Arcanopath.

If not, could something relatively balanced be made up as a sub-feat of deflect Arrows?

I believe there is an alternate class feature for the rogue in the complete arcane or complete mage that allows the rogue to give up evasion to be able to turn a spell back upon the caster.

There is also a epic feat requiring deflect arrow feat.

This character is an Ex-Barb1/Monk1 with a 2LA. It'll be quite a while before he gets epic feats. :)

He's supposed to go into Arcanopath. (Background: This character HATES arcane with a passion. He won't even equip a magic item unless he is convinced it is Divine based.)

I'm just wondering if he would be better off as a Barbarian1/Chaos Monk x and forget the Arcanopath (they must be lawful.) That's why I was looking for a feat or other way to deflect a spell.

That alternate class feature is based on Evasion, and is for monks or rogues, so you could get it. But you'd lose Evasion.

Complete Mage. Swap out your Evasion, gain it at 11th. You can then deflect rays if they miss your Touch AC.
