Modifies the chance to hit this particular character.

Armor Class (abbreviated as AC) is a derived statistic from Fallout and Fallout 2, used in all the FOnline games.

NOTE: Armor Class has been totally re-engineered as of 01 September 2017. Previously it only applied under specific conditions, based on the combat mode. Now it's just a regular modifier for the attacker's chance to hit.

Understanding Armor Class

Armor Class modifies the chance for a particular character to be hit by an attack. The defender's AC is directly subtracted from the attacker's chance to hit.

Armor Class = (3 * Agility) + Livewire + Armor

Note: Armor Class is capped at 140, and stacking above the cap does not provide additional benefit (such as negating penalties from attackers)
