Help on: armor class

Stats : Agility, Endurance

Armor class is a measurement of armor on your body. The better your armor class, the less chance you will be hit by an attack during combat.

The amount of improvement bestowed by any piece of armor depends on two things: the quality of the armor and where it is worn on the body. The chest and legs pieces are large exposed portions of your body. A piece of armor that gives a rating of 7*3+1 means that the armor is rated sturdy quality, at 7. *3 means it covers the equivalent of 3 portions of your body, and +1 is a magical modifier. The AC of this piece would be 7*3+1 = 21 + 1 = 22.
