In theory you should avoid close to zero hits because worn AC shouldn't be affecting avoidance. Certainly it won't affect dodge. The additional AC should be reducing the average damage roll on successful hits, not the raw chance to hit in the first place. The -10 agility on the fungus could affect hit chance, slightly, so I call it close to zero instead of zero, although the effect from 10 agility is close enough to zero that particular point is largely moot. Dodge should work based on the character's dodge skill only. Raw miss chance works from a combination of things like defense skill, agility, etc. The caveat here is as always: We don't actually know whether P99's mechanics in this sense fully mimic EQ-Live, so I can only discuss how it presumably works, not necessarily how it really does.

This one I did not know. I had always thought AC both decreased damage taken and increased chances of avoiding a hit altogether. The more you know!
