throw 2 levels of Monk of Many Styles and get more AC out of your Fighting Defensively... and lower those penlites! by taking Crane Style now not only do you get more AC out of FD but you also get at level 2 Crane Wing which just lets you stop a attack from hitting you completely as long as you have a free hand... and in light armor say some Elven Chain you get evasion... Also don't forget to have at least 3 ranks in Acrobatics to get more AC!
