[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 6631243, member: 996"] Bounded Accuracy is not meant to be 'more balanced' in any sense, just to keep a lower level monster able to hit higher level PCs a bit longer than was traditionally the case. It also means PCs hit much higher level monsters once in a while. The math does seem to be slanted towards hitting - presumably because missing is boring/frustrating/slow. So, yes, a somewhat lower level monster gets hit very easily. That's not bounded accuracy breaking down, if that monster needed a nat 20 to hit the PC in return, /that/ would be BA breaking down. Sure. Well, you could avoid giving out magic weapons. You could give lower-level monsters various buffs, better armor, or situational advantages of some sort to boost their AC. You could just re-tune the math by ratchetting up all monster ACs across the board, but reducing their hps so they don't take any longer to kill, there's just more missing in the process. [/QUOTE]
