Lighter armor is only better if you are playing a high dex character with unlimited funds.  (The only light armor with a +5 AC is Mithril Chain or Mithril Breastplate.  Not every character has access to a mithril armor factory.)If your character has a normal dex (i.e. 10-14) then Heavy armor is the cheapest, most effective way to get a high AC until you are high enough level to have "unlimited funds".    And once you do, Heavy Armor still has an edge.  Three points of AC can make a huge difference when it comes to an optimized AC, especially at higher levels.   More than once, the difference between needing a 20 to hit my PC and needing an 18 to hit him as saved him from taking large amounts of damage.   It prevents being Rended, and makes it nearly impossible to confirm a crit even if he does get hit. And yours amazes me.    If you actually think I was being verbally abusive, then you have led a very sheltered life.</blockquote>
