Scout
Any force on the move, whether it's an army or an adventuring group, needs information about what's ahead and what's behind and, more important, time to prepare for battle. A scout can navigate difficult terrain at good speed, and she specializes in seeing her foe before the opponent ever detects her presence. In a dungeon or in the wild, a scout is seen only when she wants to be.

- Battle Fortitude: At 2nd level, a scout gains a +1 bonus on Fortitude saves. This bonus increases to +2 at 11th, +3 at 20th, and +4 at 29th.
- Skirmisher: A scout relies on mobility to deal extra damage and improve her defense. She deals an extra 1d6 points of damage on all atacks she makes during any round in which she moves at least 10 feet. This extra damage increases by 1d6 for every four levels gained above 1st. The extra damage only applies against living creatures that have a discernable anamtomy. Creatures immune from from critical hits are not considered vulnerable to Skirmishing. Scouts can apply this extra damage to ranged attacks made while skirmishing, but only if the target is within 30 feet. A 3rd level scout gains a +1 competence bonus to AC during any in which she moves at least 10 feet. This bonus improves by 1 for every four levels gained. A scout loses this ability when wearing medium or heavy armor, or when encumbered.

Again, this is (very) old stuff. I'm not sure if it would be approved, what the issues where, and if any development has ever been done.
