Armor Class
Armor Class modifies most incoming damage, and lower values are better.
Practical guide
3 steps for this topic- Record naked and fully equipped AC, then add buffs and curses one at a time to see which value changes.
- Use lower AC as better defense and test incoming damage against the same attacker, skill, element, and target state.
- Build below the practical floor when curse protection is expected so a small AC penalty does not immediately remove the cap.
Key details
Keep these with the route- Documented range
- Community testing describes most damage as capped near 100 AC on the weak end and -90 AC on the strong end.
- Curse interaction
- beag cradh and stronger curses raise AC; excess defensive AC can preserve the floor after a small curse.
