[QUOTE="Greenfield, post: 6234137, member: 6669384"] Regarding Balor: A single CR 20 monster is one way to build an EL 20 encounter. Certainly not the only way. More of a "Boss monster" final encounter for the adventure. Lower level creatures, en mass, are a threat. Particularly if you aren't AC 26 at 1st level. As for, "Why multiclass": Do you know another way for a Ranger to take Druid levels? I don't. I'll be honest, Cj. An awful lot of your long post made little or no sense. But I think I understand the confusion. This thread was started on the "Legacy Games" forum. It got moved to the Optimizer's forum. Can an optimizer build a 1st level character of godlike power? Probably. But, as I've mentioned her, most in my game group aren't trying to be gods, just have some fun RPing at a game table. My questions wasn't "Can you make an unhittable creature?". It was specifically, "AC on a budget". And while I said there were no wrong answers, that's only true if you're answering the question that was asked. Want a first level character who absolutely can't be hit on the battlefield? It's easy. Don't go to a battlefield. 100% miss chance. But not what was being asked. Get the picture? [/QUOTE]
