[QUOTE="Gwarok, post: 6647358, member: 12249"] Well to be fair, a character between 9th-14th level is a real badass. Not go pick a fight with an ancient dragon badass, but compared to normal folk, pretty burly. Add into that a racial max stat of 20, we are talking Seal Team 6 rockstar levels. And a 15 AC is pretty middle of the road. A light infantry guy with studded leather, a shield gets you there. I don't think having a mid level guy who's a perfect physical specimen hit with near perfect regularity against such standard equipment is beyond the pale. In fact, if you found yourself fighting someone with a 20 STR, and you a mere 10, you would in fact be hugely outclassed. So I think it's not only balanced, but makes sense. But then again, your characters are heroes. They are supposed to be able to clobber the rank and file bad guys with some gusto. It's part of the gig, and even still, a mid level max stat guy can only take out so many still, which is how it should be. [/QUOTE]
