well a day ago i said i hated BG2, thats because i didnt even get past the beginning which i must say was a drag, but now i got up to the surface and i see a beutiful city and am having fun, i just saved the circus tent

now the question is....when i put on armor, like i had minsc put on the chain mail of the dead, the AR went from 9 to 1, youd think if you put armor on the AR would go up? please aid me

AC goes down, as when you hit you are rolling a d20 (20-sieded dice) and trying to score above your THACO minus your targets AC. Analyse that (or take my word for it) and you'll find that a lower AC makes you harder to hit, and a lower THACO makes it easier for you to hit things.

3rd edition rules (as used in neverwinter and icewind dale 2) do things differently, and higher armour classes and attack bonuses (THACO dosent exist in 3E) are better than low ones.

so the lower AC the better?
