I just now cracked the code on the armor class bug, I know exactly why it occurs (And it only took 2 instances to notice it!).Okay, has anyone ever noticed their...say...Bushido Blade go missing in the middle of a battle? It happened to me once, *I* thought it was simply a weapon "breaking" - I wasn't under the impression this could happen in Wizardry, but at the time I figured it must be since my Bushido Blade vanished (if I was paying attention, I might have caught why). Anyways, the reason this occurs is this. You need...
1. A weapon in the primary slot.
2. A thrown weapon in the secondary slot. And I mean that literally, a thrown weapon with a single charge left in it.
3. A character with 2 primary and 2 secondary attacks.
This is what will happen: Primary attack, secondary throw, primary attack, then the primary weapon is thrown (because there is no secondary weapon to throw).
Now, if the primary weapon is simply a hand, when it comes to the fourth attack, instead of saying throws 'primary weapon', it'll simply say "throws" and the amount of damage. (Throws a hand?) However, you never lose your hand or your feet, however, each time this happens, you get a major nail towards your armor class. And there's the mystery. =/
P.S. Llevram, I sent you the E-Mail with my character and forgot to mention that it's the Monk that's messed up, however, the Ninja MAY have a minor decrease of armor class as well that might be indistinguishable from her current armor class if I didn't mention it. I could have sworn her AC was -25 at one point, but it's currently only -20. Not that I'm complaining or anything...
