	AC ARMOR-CLASS AC-APPLY
		Armor Class AC is a rating of how much armor your character is wearing.
		The armor class scale is: 100 Naked person 0 Heavily armored -100 Divine armor Equipment can affect your AC in two ways: an Armor affect or an AC-apply affect.
		Example object identification: AC-apply of 5 Affects: -10 to ARMOR This piece of armor will reduce your AC by 10 no matter where it is worn; it also has an AC-apply of 5, which will reduce your AC by a multiple of 5 depending on which equipment slot it takes up.

	ROBOTECH: RDF Naval Vessels - ARMD Class Sublight Carrier (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Armor 4 and 6 were at that time orbiting the moon, filled with officers the UEG brass had decided were not like-minded politically, with orders to support the SDF-1 in its ordered suicide attack on Breetai's fleet after the firing of the Alaskan main cannon at it.
		It was intended that these Armors would be destroyed with the SDF-1 and its political time-bomb load of refugees, after which the Zentraedi would hopefully go and leave the Earth in peace, and the UEG securely in charge.
		Armor 4 and 6 survived the Holocaust, as they were unable to participate in the battle itself due to their low speed.

		The most sockets possible to find in armor are 3 on normal and Nightmare, and 4 on Hell.
		All types of elite armor can have four sockets, but most can only be found on Hell, due to their very high Item Levels.

	Neverwinter Nights Rogue Class FAQ - IGN FAQs
		Granting a +1 armor class bonus against the target the Rogue is currently engaged with, this is a particularly helpful feat to Thuggish and Gunship Rogues.
		Armor is heavy, cutting down your loot-carrying capacity, and if you multiclass into arcane spell-casting, it also gives you a not insignificant chance of arcane spell failure.
		Rogues in armor should not generally bother with memorizing direct damage spells -- there are few things more frustrating than watching a big buildup toward that Fireball or Ice Storm, only to see nothing happen except the text "Spell failed due to arcane spell failure!" in the status box.

	Baldur's Gate Primer - Weapons and Armor
		Not all weapon classes can be used by all character classes; indeed, the usable selection for some classes is quite limited.
		These can be distributed amongst whatever weapon classes the character can use, to a maximum of two slots per weapon class for the warrior classes (Fighter, Paladin and Ranger) and one slot per weapon class otherwise.
		There are restrictions as to the types of armor which can be worn by some classes of character, and also some limitations on certain abilities such as spell-casting and hiding when wearing armor, or in some cases, certain armor made of certain materials.

	Armor Holdings, Inc. Thoroughly Rejects Claims in Class Action Suit and Reaffirms Confidence
		Armor Holdings constantly tests and evaluates all of its products and the ballistic material of which they are comprised to ensure that they perform at the levels for which they are warranted.
		Armor Holdings believes that this irresponsible lawsuit engenders fear in the law enforcement community, discouraging proper use of body armor, and thereby puts the lives of our police men and women in greater danger.
		Armor Holdings will continue to support and cooperate with the Department of Justice in its initiatives undertaken to evaluate the performance of body armor and the development of testing standards and protocols for aged vests.

	VN Boards - First class to get nerfed?
		Class that will get "adjusted" next will be warriors.
		Warriors are a very nice class, almost unbeatable in straight up melee except possibly by paladins, which is perfectly fine.
		On the upside, none of my DAoC classes were ever directly really nerfed (cept the Champ, but he had it coming at the time, it was more of a bug fix).

	Barbarian Character Class (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		A barbarian is proficient with all simple and martial weapons, light armor, medium armor, and shields (except tower shields).
		This benefit applies only when he is wearing no armor, light armor, or medium armor and not carrying a heavy load.
		If a character already has uncanny dodge (see above) from a second class, the character automatically gains improved uncanny dodge instead, and the levels from the classes that grant uncanny dodge stack to determine the minimum level a rogue must be to flank the character.

	The Aggressors - Light armor versus Heavy armor (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Even with the armor-type mastery raised to its highest value, because there is no substantial difference between heavy and light armor, the thoughts of reducing the loss of HP result in heavy armor being used.
		Of course, heavy armor classes' soloing balance and light-armor classes' overwhelming soloing ability does not fit with Lineage 2's intention of party-play.
		However, [instead of nerfing light-armor classes] if the heavy-armor classes were strengthened [improved], it would be a good patch, and if a patch could also be made for what players want for party-play: improved monsters' A.I., HP, attack, and drops.

	Neverwinter Nights: Monk
		A monk wearing armor loses their Wisdom and level based armor class bonuses, their movement speed, and their additional unarmed attacks per round.
		While that is certainly a path you can consider, you must also remember that Monk's are the only character class that get an armor class bonus from their Wis. When you make your character you are limited in what sort of armor (if any) you will take.
		Heavy armor negates a great deal of the Monk's special abilities so he or she must rely on quickness and staying alert.

	AdventureQuest -Vampireslayer Class
		Classes in Adventure Quest will depend on which armor you're wearing at the time and the level of your class will be tracked independently.
		There will be class specific weapons that will work in conjunction with armor or be required for these special abilities.
		Each class armor will have a special menu built into it, allowing you to access the special moves, just like the Dragon Slayer menu above (Yes, that's actually the attack menu!).

		Berserker's are a light chain armor class that'll have a hard time soloing because of the lack of an effective heal.
		Hence is this not a nerf to necro and beast /nod.

		The negative 2 to his Armor Class remains, and he still draws attacks of opportunity.

		They are one of the mainstays for the priest class and are also great versus the undead that priests vow to fight.
		The bad thing about the spear is that it is two-handed, and you can't use a shield with it, making the damage to armor class trade-off not very good.
		With this sword, as the name implies, you can't use a shield for your armor class, so make sure you have someone using a long sword and shield up front to draw the monsters attention for you.

		Nevertheless, it was still easily outmatched by the most comparable Zentraedi vessel, the Tou Redir scout, which was more effectively armed, armored, and faster.
		It was the intend of the UN Spacy to mount a fold system on the class as soon as these drives could be safely replicated; however, this never happened.
		This vessel was fairly spacious, and was popular with its crews before the Zentraedi arrived, but proved to be woefully underarmed to deal with the far larger and deadlier Zentraedi vessels.

		Despite this "typical fighter" status, the bushi has a number of interesting abilities stemming from the fact that most bushi are poor, and must be able to provide for themselves at minimal cost.
		They use d10 hit points per level, fight and save as fighters, and can use any armor and weapons, although there is an honor penalty for proficiency in Ninja weapons.

		The simplest explanation I can give to describe the requirements for the class armor quests in Thurgadin is that there are three different sets of gems and four different sets of armor.

		Gems are tradeable, but the armor pieces are not.
