Evasion (Ex): At 2nd level and higher, a rogue can
avoid even magical and unusual attacks with great agility.
If she makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an
attack that normally deals half damage on a successful
save, she instead takes no damage. Evasion can be used
only if the rogue is wearing light armor or no armor. A
helpless rogue does not gain the benefit of evasion.
Trap Sense (Ex): A rogue gains an intuitive sense
that alerts her to danger from traps, giving her a +2 bonus
on Reflex saves made to avoid traps and a +2 dodge bonus
to AC against attacks made by traps.
Uncanny Dodge (Ex): Starting at 4th level, a rogue
can react to danger before her senses would normally
allow her to do so. She retains her Dexterity bonus to AC
(if any) even if she is caught flat-footed or struck by an
invisible attacker. However, she still loses her Dexterity
bonus to AC if immobilized.
Improved Uncanny Dodge (Ex): A rogue of 8th
level or higher can no longer be flanked. This defense
denies another rogue the ability to sneak attack the
character by flanking her, unless the attacker has at least
four more rogue levels than the target does.

Evasion (Ex): At 2nd level and higher, a rogue can
avoid even magical and unusual attacks with great agility.
If she makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an
attack that normally deals half damage on a successful
save, she instead takes no damage. Evasion can be used
only if the rogue is wearing light armor or no armor. A
helpless rogue does not gain the benefit of evasion.
Trap Sense (Ex): A rogue gains an intuitive sense
that alerts her to danger from traps, giving her a +2 bonus
on Reflex saves made to avoid traps and a +2 dodge bonus
to AC against attacks made by traps.
Uncanny Dodge (Ex): Starting at 4th level, a rogue
can react to danger before her senses would normally
allow her to do so. She retains her Dexterity bonus to AC
(if any) even if she is caught flat-footed or struck by an
invisible attacker. However, she still loses her Dexterity
