Well, the armor class, or AC, number I think should increase with the adding of more or better armor.  The thing with Baldur\'s Gate and the AC number going down (sometimes in the negatives) was based on a system that Dungeons and Dragons implemented in the 70s (the game was based on 2nd edition rules).  The lower the number, the harder you were to hit.  That has recently been rescinded (with the 3rd edition rules) in that the AC number will now only increase in the positive direction.  I never really understood why Gary Gygax wanted it the other way, other than to limit the gameplay to those who could understand it.  I think it\'s safe to say that your AC in PlaneShift will increase positively when adding more/upgrading.  But, that\'s just my opinion.   ;)
