It does make a difference. I started a bard with 111 agi, 131 with Feet
like a cat :), and I find I dodge more, and get hit for less, but must wear
lighter armor. I also started a gnome cleric with an agility of 101 and 100
to test the difference and your ac base goes up at 101, but not at 100 or
102. With an agility of 101 my gnome cleric could solo pawns at level 2
with only a 6 in his 1 handed blunt, because they would rarely hit me, and
with patchwork would often hit me for 1pt. I had trouble soloing pawns at
3rd with the first cleric attempt at 85 agility and 81 strength, because
they would beat the heck out of me long before my increased damage mattered.
It would seem there is a definite tradeoff in agi vs str and Kitasi has
little trouble soloing blues, unless they are the easy to hit have a lot of
hp variety. I can even solo some whites and have soloed a yellow recently
at 15th. I get swung at a lot, but don't get hit too often. When I do it
often hurts as my armor is light. I usually position myself on one side of
our targets while the other 3 party members assault from the front. Usually
about halfway thru a fight they will all turn on me and the whole party gets
to swing at their backs. Its amazing to watch how quickly we slaughter
critters once they turn their backs on a pallie, a ranger, and the cleric.
All to hit that irritating bard.
Kitasi of E'ci

Alas, from my rogue friend's enthusiasm about agility I had hopes that it
actually meant something. I fear strength, indeed, is the only statistic,
and the others have little or no impact. One would hope that if someone
actually concentrated on another statistic besides strength they would reap
some reward. Well, one can only hope that at least for rogues, high agility
helps as she believes. (Hey, monks have their own physics, why not others?)
