You guys are having a violent agreement!
The point of diminishing returns seems to be just over 100 in agi and prolly
dex. Yes - boost it up to 100, 110, 120 but beyond that - it make little
diff.
Now consider the magic buffs - I see my dex into 130 plus buffed with song
and should I wonder if it need my jewelry dexi boosters? Or should I wonder
if I need my dexi buff song? And can use other sings since my stats are
good from my jewels. But then what about the warrior in the party who
dumped all his points into wis and int and has 80 dex unbuffed - hehe guess
he needs my songs!

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.
