Something to add about AC.
I have a warrior that just made 2nd level. It took me nearly 2 hours of
killing white rats and drudge skulkers. I finally made enough money to buy
a leather tunic (it cost 200, I was getting maybe 3 from the drudges).
While fighting another drudge, I was attacked by a banderling and killed in
two hits. Guess what I lost? My leather tunic and half of the money that I
had left. Suffice to say I wasn't too thrilled about this.
