Yes, some feel off with nimble escape being the big one. I also wonder if having 5-6 saves is really worth +4 to AC, but that seems more accurate than nimble escape. Most of the rest of the modifiers are too small for me to really worry about if they are slightly off. I do wonder sometimes, but have not done any type of analysis to see if their values are justified.</blockquote>
