A 3 minute examination of the code shows this:
typedef struct liv { /* Mostly used by "alive" objects */
  sint8         Str,Dex,Con,Wis,Cha,Int,Pow;
  sint8         wc,ac;          /* Weapon Class and Armour Class */
  sint16        hp;             /* Hit Points. */
  sint16        maxhp;
  sint16        sp;             /* Spell points.  Used to cast mage spells. */

wc and ac are 8 bit signed ints.

Wrapping can and does occur.

Your guesses are borne out neither by the code nor by my
observation "in the field".
