These are added together and represented to the player in a single value. EverQuest was based on old DIKU MUDs and in those MUDs AC is also both an avoidance and mitigation stat rolled into one, however EQ does not have a baseline THAC0 number and uses two distinct mitigation and avoidance stats. Sony/Verant may have combined these because gamers at the same were used to AC being a single stat but that is speculation.</p> https://eqresearch.info/melee/ Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000 https://eqresearch.info/melee/
