Astute observation John. It has me wondering now, what is your agi then?
I still seem to be okay even with almost a full set of bronze (minus
gloves and mask). However I haven't noticed being hit much more than I
did before, perhaps a higher AGI helps compensate for being really close
to your max weight allowance. Just for reference my AGI is 100 base and
102 at the moment with the aid of an earring. The other thing that I can
admit is the fact that I rarely dodge in combat. So it appears that
encumberance plays a role with it. I have 84 STR with all bonuses. With
my armor, weapons and supplies I weigh in at 79.
