Armor Class

Modifies the chance to hit this particular character.

Armor Class (abbreviated as AC)

AC modifies the chance for a particular character to be hit by an attack. The defender's AC is directly subtracted from the attacker's chance to hit.

Armor class is only applied under specific conditions, based on the combat mode.

Real-Time Combat

Armor class is applied when

• A character is running.

AC is halved when standing, or walking otherwise.

Turn-based Combat

Armor class is applied when

• a character spends at least half of their Action Points on movement.
• a character ends their turn with at least half of their Action Points unspent.

AC is 0 otherwise.
