Try this.
find -name '*.pfile' | xargs perl -i.back -n -e \
'if (/^AC:[ ]+/) {print "AC: 1000"} else {print;}'
Basically this will run the small perl script on each line of each
file matching *.pfile. You'll need to change that to the appropriate
wildcard. Also, change /^AC:[ ]+/ to whatever matches the armor class
line. All other lines will be unchanged.
