In RL what armor you wore made, um, like, alot of difference. Think naked person getting hit with a sword vs. person in full plate. Shouldn't this be a CORE stat, perhaps one of the MORE important factors in a melee battle instead of being pretty pointless after rank 10? I think that AC has been severely neglected with all the new code that has been added and perhaps it should be adressed.

I hear all kinds of condesending responses to questions or comments based on something being logical in RL. Ex: "..of course you got your butt kicked, you can't dodge while carrying 400 lbs moron!..." or "...Duh, how are you going to throw a dragon 20 times your size?..moron!". Well, why does this RL common sense test fail so misirably when it comes to AC? Come on, it's one of the most fundemental stats of your character, every item just about has some AC. Why should it be so useless? I think AC is a boil on the nose of CF and needs some surgery.
