Are there any spells, feats, or items that allow a character to add their intelligence modifier to their Armor Class in the same way that Sirine's Grace gives CHA to AC or monks get WIS? I'm trying to find a source of non-deflection specifically.

The Factotum class from Dungeonscape can add its INT modifier to AC. Initially it is only a certain number of times per encounter, and only for one round per use, but eventually they just permanently add INT to their AC.

Well, a combination of any source of Monk-AC and Kung-Fu Genius or Carmendine Monk will do. Duelist also sorta, but as it's capped by class level, that's not terribly useful.

When you say Monk-AC, do you mean things like Swordsage, Ninja, and the like would also work?

According to this (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=125732), there are a few.

Ascetic Psion, Carmedine Monk, Kung Fu Genius - all off Monk AC - you'd better look them up to see what exactly that entails.

Bladesinger, Duelist, Invisible Blade are all capped by class level - as said above, not terribly useful.

Mantis Mercenary and Iaijutsu Master are both 3.0.

Eternal Blade 6 is a really steep investment for only against 1 foe and uses a swift action every round.

And Factotum, as above.

A spiked shield, dancing if you must. Enchant the spikes with the Defending enhancement. Untyped bonus to AC, just add Greater Magic Weapon on spikes for free AC! Can also be done with armor spikes as well. Since the bonus is untyped, it stacks with itself.
