People keep saying this but I don't find it to be true. I tried tonight
with my serpentine bracer. AC 1 AGI 9. I put it on and my AC went up 1.
It does affect how often you get missed but has _no_ effect on AC, which
is how much damage you take when you do get hit. As I can't tell a
significant difference in the amount I get missed between 100 and 130 I
don't know if it's worth giving up AC for agility beyond that point.
