Weight most definatley does AC. I make it a point when hunting in groups to
just take the coin split. If you are worried about not getting decent coin,
probably 75% of the time, when someone in my group runs off to sell, they
come back and give me a little coin since I am not taking any loot. Last
night, for example, a party member looted a full set of bronze in our course
of adventuring. He sold the entire set to a player, turned around and gave
me 15 plat.

As far as weight affecting atk, I have never seen anything official, but I
do believe this happens. I think it also affects dex, but haven't had the
chance to really look into it.

I would recommend definately getting netted or woven armor if you can afford
it. Too bad I didn't see this earlier, as I just upgraded to full mesh and
gave away my full set of woven to a younger Brother.
