Feats to improve AC?

[Frenchy147]

I need some feats to help improve AC. I'm trying to stick to the core books and fairly common books. Any suggestions?

It's in Goonthegoof's thread, but it's 20 posts down; so looking directly at http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=178445 might help as well.

Law Devotion (Complete Champion). +3 sacred bonus you can shift to either AC or attacks for 1 minute, 1/day. Scales up to +5 at ECL 10, +7 at ECL 15.

Planar Touchstone (Planar Handbook) can also get you a +1 AC from a few different sites. You need 8 ranks of Knowledge (the Planes), but you do not need to visit the touchstone site to gain the basic ability. Some examples:

Monastery of Zerth'Ad'lun: +1 dodge bonus vs. melee attacks, or +2 dodge bonus vs. full-round melee attack.
Pilgrim's Rest: +1 untyped bonus to AC while on the material plane.
Valley of Thunder: +1 untyped bonus to AC.

Touchstone feat (Sandstorm) works somewhat similar to the Planar version, but requires 8 ranks Knowledge (Local) or a 250 GP touchstone key (no Knowledge ranks necessary). You can then link yourself to:

Dusty Conclave (Sandstorm): Improve natural armor bonus by 1.

Shape Soulmeld (Magic of Incarnum) can be used to pick up an AC bonus:

Crystal Helm, +1 deflection bonus/essentia.
Incarnate Avatar, +1 insight bonus/essentia.
Wormtail Belt, +2 natural armor bonus, increase by +1/essentia.
