This is almost correct. Agility DOES affect your AC. I don't have the
numbers written down but I do know that my AC is affected by how much
+agility I have (just like my HP are affected by how much +stamina I have).
However, once your agility reaches 100, it takes a larger amount of agility
boosting items/buffs to see that AC increase. If you doubt this at all,
take off all your +agility items and look at your AC then put them on and
compare again. For those of you with a base agility that is lower than 100
you should see your AC increase.
One example I can give and maybe some of you can test this with someone you
trust, but the dwarven cleric I run around with gets better AC from his BS
tunic than a bronze breastplate because of the agility boost. Because my
agility hangs around the 110 mark, my AC went down from Steel/Bronze when I
tried his tunic on. Had I removed all my other +agility items and tried
again, the story might have been different. I'll try this tonight if I can
remember and let you all know what I find.
