Armor Class

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.

AC 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 is only applied under specific conditions, based on the combat mode.

Real-Time Combat

Armor class is applied when

• A character is running.

AC is 0 when standing, or walking otherwise.

Turn-Based Combat

Armor class is applied when...

• ...a character spends at least half of their Action Points on movement.
• ...a character ends their turn with at least half of their Action Points unspent.

AC is 0 otherwise.

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 is no longer working only when running.

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)
