[QUOTE="iserith, post: 7789702, member: 97077"] I haven't had this issue, chiefly because the monsters in my game only very rarely make ability checks. Generally those checks are Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) as they relate to grappling and shoving, plus Dexterity (Stealth) when hiding or trying to gain surprise and passive Perception for trying to avoid it. In general I have found the monsters are not great at grappling or shoving compared to the strong fighter. And they aren't great at spotting the stealthy rogue. But when it comes to every other PC, it can go either way. This feel about right to me. I don't have any expectation that monsters will win against "specialized" PCs in certain areas. What does it currently look like in your game and what expectations do you have about what it should look like, specifically? That will inform what, if any, action you take. [/QUOTE]
