To determine how much damage they do a mob rolls a dice with 20 sides. Each side has a fixed number. Having high AC compared to a mobs attack weights the dice so low numbers are more likely to be rolled. Low AC compared to ATK weights the dice towards the high numbers.

AC can not change what the 20 possible hit values can be, just how highs vs lows are likely to be rolled.
