I gave this item to a test character of mine an his armor class is now -9950. Thats pretty good or so I thought.

So I sent the poor test dummy out to go fight a city guard and the guard hits him and kills him in three. OUCH!

My question is what is the highest level/value an object ARMOR can have to make a character basically unhittable. I know that unhittable characters are bad but I would have thought that with a AC of -9950 that a level 15 guard's weapon wouldn't even scratch him?
