Here is my rule when looking for armor/weight.
1.) Adhere to the 14 pound rule. Also remember that it does no good being 14
pounds if in the first 5 five fight you pick 2 pounds in coin so plan to go
to 10 so you can gain some coin and not be over the mythical 14 number.
2.) When picking armor it doesnt matter about the weight or the ac. What
matters is the ac/weight ratio. Somes item give you a ratio of like 1 ac to
1 pound, these are bad, try to get things like leather bracers, give you ac3
to wieght 1, much better then say boots of ac4 to weight 2.5. So mix and
maych to see what ac/weight ratio works best! Ths is very important in
leather since all of the items have very skewed ac/weight ratios. I
persoanlly reccomend the cap, ac4 weight.6 (great ratio) and the bracers
(ac3 weight 1, and yo get 2 of em!), i cant remeber what the sleeves were? I
know the pants were down right evil and the tunic wasnt so hot either I
think!
