I'm looking for different feats out there that would help me with options I could use to render an opponent flat-footed or otherwise deny it it's attack bonus. Anyone know of anything off hand?

If you have access to Complete Scoundrel there are several options in there.

Well there's always the obvious improved feint, although it limits your attacks per round, also quick draw, I think that in complete adventurer there is a useage of slight of hand and quick draw while wielding 2 weapons at once that you can use once per round, and neraph throw and charge are quite useful, and to a lesser extent improved initiative can help.

If you have adaptable flanker, I think you can flank with your mount(assuming you are using one...):P

Take the Sudden Leap maneuver as a feat (marital study) from ToB. If you have a high initiative you can leap over to them as a free action and make a full attack while they are still flat footed.

Thanks for the reply, I probably should go more in depth of my character though. My plan of action is to make a Spellthief/Master Thrower dagger chucker. I'm not quite sure how flanking with a ranged weapon would work, or if there are any feats to otherwise aid this action. He's going to be armed with a masterwork bandoleer of different, possibly poisoned, returning daggers. So with the ability to throw my sneak attacks, moving silently won't be as much of a requirement, and actions such as a feint won't play nearly as heavy a roll. What I'm hoping to find, besides invisibility items, are things I may use to cause some sort of potent distraction or other method.
