Subject: RE: Dex vrs Agility


There are agility bonuses that differ when you hit certain points. I had a
100 agility and an AC of around 200 or so when I got my first agility
boosting item. Going from 100 to 102 with no attached AC bumped my AC up by
9 points. Not sure if there are bonuses at points past 101, but I would
imagine they get spread out at that point. I checked with a new character
and 101 is definitely better than 100 and 110 is no different from 101.
Could not add enough points to reach 111 so could not check that, will try
with a halfling rogue to see if bonuses really do continue past 101, and
will report back on Monday.

Kitasi the agile?

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.
