Example

Zmeja has a base (running) Armor Class of 81. A sniper aims at his right arm as Zmeja is standing. He has a hitchance of 87%. (Let's assume the 87% are with 0 Armor Class, even though Zmeja would have had some Armor Class normally in this situation). Zmeja now starts walking, and the Sniper shoots.

What happens in this situation? As Zmeja is walking, 66% of his Armor Class applies. rounded down, Zmeja has 54 Armor Class. This means, that the Sniper has actually rounded down, (87%-10%), so a 77% chance of hitting Zmeja.

The effect would have been stronger, if Zmeja would have ran, instead of just walking. Of course, more Armor Class would be beneficial as well!
