Thanks for doing those parses, bcbrown. It definitely seems like the best explanation is that NPCs always get ~65% interval hits and the remaining 35% are either min or max depending on relative AC/ATK. The ad hoc nature of Project 1999 game mechanics never ceases to amaze me, considering how pedantic Nilbog is about quests and such.

The most interesting thing about this is that if true, it implies that tanks want AC for raiding and HP for farming/leveling, while most people take the opposite approach.
Or really, if you just focus on HP’s it serves both purposes. Not to say turning a blind eye to AC as a raid tank is a good idea, but most raid issues don’t involve AC or the last couple hundred hps.
