Armor Question

What is the best Armor for a favored soul??
Well, favored soul can wear Fullplate. The best material is Mithril because that doesn't take up a magical mod slot (and gives lighter weight and more dex bonus possible).
So Mithril fullplate.
In the OC you can have 3 magical effects. One should be +5. That leaves 2 of your choice...look at your recipes. I think a couple elemental resists would be nice and there might even be immunity to critical hits?? Look at the recipes. As an alternative to +5 you could replace that mod with another if you choose to wear the Bracers of Blinding Strike which give haste x3 and are +4.
I haven't explored MoTB but I think there are more recipes in addition to the originals. Also at high level caster level crafting they can put more mods on it.
Note: I completed the OC with Mithril Fullplate +5 and didn't need any mods...as soon as I was sporting all the AC gear along with high saves (Favored Soul will have that) + Drow Spell Resistance...wearing a ring of regeneration +4....well I think my health bar was at least 80% full for the rest of the game and I could tank 3 soul reavers at once etc...
