[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 8865295, member: 23751"] The above explanation shows that you do not understand what I am saying. Did you see the part where I said they [B]start[/B] with above average AC. I didn't make a claim about how their ACs end. I didn't say it because it went without saying. Saying the PCs have higher than normal AC = monsters and NPCs usually having lower than normal ACs. Quite literally everything else besides the PCs is a monster or NPC. I didn't think I would need to explain that to you. It's not a +4 on anything in the upper end of the AC spectrum. Because that's how treasure works. If they find 12000 gold pieces in a horde, that's 240 pounds. If they want to drag back that adamantine plate, that's 65 more pounds. It adds up. You should look at wizard sheets sometime. They carry a heck of a lot more than that usually. It's my job to set the world. It's not my job to artificially cause the world to only give them what they can carry. If they want to drag a 200 pound tapestry worth 25000 gold back to town, they can. If they decide it's too heavy, that's also a decision they can make. The tapestry isn't suddenly going to vanish or go on a diet and lose 180 pounds just so your wizard can carry it. No. I just called you out for cherry picking the numbers to work out in your favor. I never said they weren't all in the balance range. It's both. The game assumes a group of 4 when it works out CR. Individuals go into that group. [/QUOTE]
