D&D 5E For those playing 2014 5e, how are you reacting to the 2024 update?

[Uni-the-Unicorn!]

I totally disagree.

I suspected as much, but the math says otherwise.

Can you show that math, curious to see what it looks like

9/20 =45% to hit ; if you up the AC by a few points it is 9/23 =30% to hit. 30% is less fun than 45%. Of course at that level (15) you could see monsters with AC 22, so a few points higher might get you 9/25 =20%

9/20 =45% to hit ; if you up the AC by a few points it is 9/23 =39% to hit. 39% is less fun than 45%. Of course at that level (15) you could see monsters with AC 22, so a few points higher might get you 9/25 =36%

Were 9/23 =23-9=14/20=70% miss or 30% hit. I could be wrong, math is not my thing

I could easily be off by 5% or so, I always forget which way to apply the hit

the discussion was about upping HP, not AC

where is the 9 coming from?

where is the 9 coming from?

+4 from ability and +5 from proficiency

Sorry. Your math is wrong.

It is 6/20 = 30% and 4/20 = 20%

Ok, your math is even more wonky.

You add +9 to your roll. So if AC is 20, you hit on rolls of 11 to 20. This are 10 sides of a d20. Now your chance to hit is 50%.

you're assuming a level 13+ character hasn't maxed out their attack ability? weird assumption, but okay, i guess.
