Message: <blockquote data-quote="ECMO3" data-source="post: 9752086" data-attributes="member: 7030563">They are not increasing at a similar level, the monster DCs are increasing at a slower level.I believe a Terrasque has the highest save in the Monster Manual at DC 27 and that is strength and con which the fighter is proficient in.  A Terrasque is near the top end of a high difficulty encounter for a party of 8 20th level PCs.Here are a few single boss monsters that are high difficulty encounter for 8 10th level PCs:Balor - DC 20Demilich - DC19Sphinx of Valor - DC20Adult gold Dragon - DC 21Dragon Turtle - DC 19So the boss monster DC increased between 6 and 8 over those 10 levels, while the Fighters bonus increased by 10.  So the fighter's indomitable bonus is increasing at a faster rate than the DCs even when using the highest DC in the Monster Manual as the metric.Yes, compared to a +10 for a 10th level fighter.  That is not the same mileage.Using two of the monsters above with Strength saves - The 10th level fighter with a 20 strength using Indomitable fails a DC21 Gold Dragon Breath strength save 5% of the time, a Fighter with an 10 strength fails 30% of the time.  A 20th level fighter with a  a 10 or 20 strength using indomitable never fails the save against a Tarrasque DC27 swallow.The difference would be even more dramatic if we were using something the fighter was not proficient in.</blockquote>
