According to some designers, it will be typical in 4e that your average party of N PCs of level X will fight against the same amount of monsters of the same level.
I'm not fully getting this...
Doesn't this mean that each side has 50% chance of winning the battle? Isn't that way too much for the players, who are not supposed to exactly get a TPK every other encounter?
...or do they mean that really a monster of level X will be weaker than a PC of level X? That would result in more reasonable average combat outcome, however it also means that an NPC of class level X is not a "monster" of level X, but something more.
Or am I missing something?
