any idea what this is based on? i can't seem to figure this one out. i thought it might work off of an ability score, but it doesn't seem to work that way.

Insight bonus is just like any bonus. There are several spells that will grant you an insight bonus to AC, because you can see into the future.
 

I think it's just random, not actually based on anything except that the author thought it was good at the time he wrote it.
 

A lot of the Outsiders (and some other creatures) in the Epic-Level Handbook have it, too, BTW.
 

I think it's based off of the fact that it's damn hard to get a decen AC at high levels without tons of magic items, so he just decided to throw in however much of an Insight bonus he thought the archfiend needed. :)

Right. Also, they probably used an insight bonus (rather than just increasing natural AC) since natural AC doesn't work against everything (e.g., touch attacks).
