Hehe. I was about to ask the same question. I figure if I sacrifice all
stats, and use AC in every slot, and use a shield, I can only get my AC to
about 802. Of course there are a few items that could raise it another
7-10AC, but aren't really obtainable by me yet.
This is (all but 1 item) pre-Kunark stuff though.
Bien - 40th also
