 Circumstantial modifiers account for all other things that make a target harder to hit, such as Darkness, Visibility and Training. Most Circumstantial modifiers stack, unless stated otherwise.
-For instance, a character with [[Defence IV]] (Giants) has a +4 AC bonus against attacks by opponents with the Giant type. [[Defence]] specifically states that only the highest modifier amongst [[Defence]] tags is used, however - if the character had [[Defence II]] (Undead) and fought against an Undead Giant, they would only have +4 instead of +2. If, however, they were in Total Darkness, the character would suffer a -4, meaning they got no Circumstantial AC bonus.

 Unless Circumstantial modifiers effect the character constantly, they are usually not used in calculating AC. Thus, they are only accounted for in moment to moment play.

	For example, Lucas is wearing Chan Mail +2. With their +1 to Dodge described above, their AC is 4 before Enhancement. Factoring in the +2, this becomes AC 2. If they add a Medium Shield +2, it drops by 1, to AC 1, ignoring the additional +2 Enhancement bonus. If, however, they also wore a Cloak of Protection +3, this would, instead, be AC 0, as it is 1 higher than the current Enhancement bonus.		For example, Lucas is wearing Chan Mail +2.

-Armour Class is a mixture of things based on how tough the character is, how responsive they are, what they are wearing and so forth - it is both how hard it is to hit the character and how hard it is to do ''damage'' successfully. This is reflected by Base AC, Natural and Equipped Armour, Deflection, Dodge and Protection.

 To continue the example, Lucas is wearing Chain Mail (AC 5). As this is Medium Armour, their bonus is halved to +1, causing them to have AC 4. Meanwhile, Krieger in the same armour gains +2 (Medium Armour on Natural Armour of 5) from Chain Mail, dropping it down to AC 3 but still suffers the full -1 Dodge penalty, leaving him at AC 4 as well.
-When Flatfooted, character loses any ''bonus'' to Dodge. However, due to the clumsy and unwieldy nature of characters with poor Dexterity, any penalty to Dodge applies when in Armour or when Flatfooted. They cannot get out of the way quick enough.

 ===Dodge===
 Dodge represents the character's reaction and timing and ability to avoid being hit. By default, Dodge is based on Dexterity - a high dexterity confers a bonus, a low dexterity confers a penalty.
 Armour interferes with a character's ability to move and respond quickly. Medium Armour causes a character to 1/2 their Dodge bonus (rounding down) and Heavy Armour (or greater) causes the character to lose their Dodge bonus. Combat Proficiencies allow a character to avoid these restrictions.
 When Flatfooted, character loses any ''bonus'' to Dodge. However, due to the clumsy and unwieldy nature of characters with poor Dexterity, any penalty to Dodge applies when in Armour or when Flatfooted. They cannot get out of the way quick enough.
