A while ago there was a note that said armor wasn't worth much, if a Xorn
hits you he is going to knock you down 20 hits, or something like that.
well I just finished a game with -8 armor class, believe it or not.
I was given a +3 plate mail and found 8 EA's.  Well Nothing stopped me.
(except dragons, i sort of left them sleep...) I was in a room with
an umber hulk, wraith and purple worm. and survived. i just kept wailing
on keys hoping i would hit the right things and finally killed them all.
Needless to say it doesnt give one immunity to danger as i was killed on
level 29 trapped between two purple worms.
