Alternative Class Features

[Optimator]

In Eberron Bards can trade out most songs for bonus feats off a small list on page 34 "Music Of Creation".  Would that count as an ACF?

[Surreal]

Wow, that's a fantastic find. I'll add it when I'm not buried with work.

edit: note to self - check the other classes for ACFs as well
clerics can worship the pantheon of the Sovereign Host, choose two domains
monks can choose alternate feats, warforged monks can use wholeness of body
halfling paladins call a clawfoot dinosaur
warforged paladin lay on hands can function as repair magic

[Surreal]

Updated. Added a few things, fixed a few formatting blips, etc.

[low_drums]

Favored Environment for Rangers.  It's from UA, pg. 65.  It replaces Favored Enemy.

There are a couple other things in that section of the book, too.

[bananaphone]

I don't know if you are still updating this, or if you are accepting ACF's from Dragon Magazine. 
There are more, but here are a couple Paladin ones that I've used in games:

Angel's Sight

You gain Darkvision to a range of 60 feet, and Low-light vision.
Replaces: Divine Health at 3rd level.

Sword of Celestia

Choose a specific type weapon and name it.  A powerful good outsider forges the weapon for you.  You may summon the weapon from the celestial forges to your hand or return it as a free action.  You many call the weapon 1+WIS mod times a day.  The weapon is a +1 weapon of its kind at 5th level, +2 at 10th level, +2 Holy at 15th, and +2 Holy Lawful at 20th.  You may upgrade your weapon as if you had the Craft Magic Arms and Armor feat.  If the weapon is ever destroyed, a different celestial weaponsmith crafts you a new weapon and presents it to you one year and a day after the previous one was destroyed.
Replaces: Special Mount at 5th level.

I don't really understand how the variant chaining is supposed to work. Those things are called Alternative class features, so it seems clear to me that having the requisite ability to swap isn't enough, you have to actually be a member of the class. Or is there something wrong with my logic?

Most ACF's came about before other classes gained access to said class features, and/or some ACF's only require an ability to trade.  Yeah, fishy, but meh.

EDIT : And OMFG Sword of Celestia...time to make an Uberpaladin with Inspire Courage and Sword of the Celestial Arcane Order

[Hitoshura]

Shouldn't we mention all the Dragon Magazines ACF too?

I mean, things like Mystic Ranger and Wild Reaper [DR311] are just too awesome... Can you say Persistent Divine Metamagic Druid with almost no relevant losses?

[zaulsiin]

Shouldn't we mention all the Dragon Magazines ACF too?

Although I recognize that Dragon magazine has published a great number of alternative class features as well, I have opted to leave these out (excepting useful links to them in the Miscellany), since they are often disallowed are more difficult to access than normal WotC sourcebooks. You are welcome to discuss or inquire about them in the thread, and likewise to discuss or inquire about subjects related to alternative class features.

Surreal was pretty clear on why he didn't include them. That's not to say that someone else shouldn't formulate such a list, though. I'm sure it would be useful to people, it's just a ton of work.

Wouldn't that have you worshiping two goddesses and another pantheon on the side.  I don't think they'd appreciate their champion two-timing.

Oedipus, Hercules and Jason to name a few disagree Greek legends with the okay part 

[McPoyo]

That's because the greek pantheon was a bunch of dicks.

[fuinjutsu]

Well no kidding.  the head of that pantheon was best known for being an insatiable rapist.

[jameswilliamogle]

There's a slew of Spellthief ACFs in one of the later Dragon Mags; I've got it somewhere... Will add to this thread later. 

The biggest one is the Trickster variant.  Gain casting as a Bard (Bard-like progression, can pick either Bard spells or Sorc/Wizard spells from normal Spellthief schools).  Lose Trapfinding, all but 1d6 sneak attack (at 1st), 2 skill points per level, and a hole bunch of thiefy skills (including hide and move silently, unfortunately).  Definitely makes them much stronger, imo.

[Rooster]

So... time for a massive post to update this. My formatting is not entirely uniform, and some text was a bit detailed to copy/paste everything... but this should at least give people a where to look. Note that a few of the ACFs aren't quite as good as they seem, but overall most of them are useful... with a few exceptions. I listed the articles with vestiges and alternate familiars, just for completeness. I did not include feats, although I have an urge to sift for those.
