Good summary I would also like to add my opinon on what to look for in
items,

AC is the most important thing in the game. the higher it is the less you
get hit.
HP the higher this is the more you can get hit and with higher AC you can
survive longer
STR helps do more damage during a fight. a few extra hp's of damage add up
over the course of a longer fight. fully buffed i do fist damage in the 60's
and have done a 113 FK
AGI affects AC very little but does help us avoid hits also
