Have the AC changes gone live yet?

I'm sure I am wrong on the numbers, but not necessarily how it works. Though, it can't be confirmed that's how it works here.

So, your druid is going to suck at tanking no matter how much AC he has.

And, no, the AC revamp has not gone in yet.

It's armor type: Cloth, Leather, Chain, Plate. In that order of protection level. At the low end the worn AC soft cap on live is < 100 and the plate ac softcap is > 250.

No, those numbers aren't exact cause I ain't real sure what haynar plugged in, I just know the rough estimates of the classic values.

Just to point out... you should have Mana/Wis/HP gear on.... Not ac gear.

You spent your 30k wrong. But can I halfs ur gear pls?

Hehe I don't think I spent it wrong. Have mostly best in slot peices, and then adamantite bands for HP. One of the side effects of having very strong gear is that it usually comes with a little more AC than one would normally have. So, to the point, I didn't spend 30k stacking AC. The AC came naturally with the gear.

Was just confused why it didn't seem to be making any difference, but I understand now.

Thanks Aeolwind, really appreciate the information!

We've found a lot of good information on the combat stuff, so you can probably expect further changes to both you benefit and detriment in the future. =) I <3 detriment.

Sony catered, Verant drove home their point with the cruel spear of a true DM/GM.

When I DM a PNP game, I make it my number one priority to make someone scream 'F(&* YOU!!" at least once.

"Sure, you can draw from the Deck of Many Things. How many cards?"
"Sure, the constabulary around here should be no match for you."
"Sure, you can try to jump across that chasm."
"Sure, you have a chance to beat that dragon."
"Please, would I put you up against something you couldn't handle?"
"Oh, that stinks. How many HP did you have left again?"
"Oh wow, I hope you make the save."
"Naa, you don't think there is anything of value in here."
"You don't think the King will be upset about you sleeping with his virgin daughter that is betrothed to the blahblah kingdom that they've been at war with for 200 years."

Only 1 time in my DM'ing career have I regretted someone drawing from a deck. It has 22 cards, 11 good, 11 really freakin bad. He called 11 cards. To not let my poor poker face give me away I shuffled the deck without looking and laid them out in front of him side by side. He fliped over 11 cards, all of them red/good. I almost had a stroke.
