I agree that shadow dragon scale Armour is great for thieves as it's AC1 and has good armour class modifiers. Weight is not important, as all armour falls into categories that have various AC modifiers (see tables in the back of manual). Bladesinger chain is also good, but provides less protection against bludgeoning weapons that the dragon scale. It can be upgraded in ToB however. The best possible armour that thieves can use in the whole of SoA/ToB is white dragon scale (find the scales in watchers keep level 3) as it's AC-2!!
