Based on the characters in the game right now, I don't think this is going to come up.
However, I think classes like the Duelist and Invisible Blade, that get to add their Int modifier to AC when not wearing armor, get a bit cheated. See, they only get to add 1 point of their Int per class level, so regardless of their Int score, a 3rd level Duelist only gets +3 to AC from Int.
I know this was done to prevent level-dipping, but it actually hurts people who take the class all the way through. For example, Invisible Blade is only a 5 level prestige class. In order to get the same AC that they would get from wearing a +1 chain shirt, they have to max out the class and have an Int of 20. If they have an Int of any higher than 20 it's completely wasted since they will never get to add that to their AC.
So on the off chance that any of these classes get used, I'm implementing the following house rule:
Classes with abilities that allow them to add their Int modifier to Armor Class now add 2 points of Int per class level rather than 1. And upon reaching the last level in that class (10 for Duelist, 5 for Invisible Blade, etc.) they may add their full Int modifier to AC, without limit.
Like I said, doubt it will come up. But if it does, there you have it.
