Alter Aeon FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

FAQ 5.6 - How does AC and armor work?

AC and armor protect you from blows by reducing damage when you are hit.
A lower armor score is better, for example -100 armor is better than
0 or +100.

On items, you want the Ac-Apply to be high.  9 Ac-Apply is better than
5 Ac-Apply.

On items, a negative ARMOR Affect is good.  Affects: ARMOR by -8 is
better than Affects: ARMOR by -3.  Note that Affects: ARMOR by 12 is
very bad.  Avoid items with positive ARMOR effects.
