[QUOTE="Sacrosanct, post: 7524734, member: 15700"] Didn't forget. I omitted it for a couple reasons. My goal was to show how bonuses to hit from 1e to 5e were different, and the odds that a PC has a +1 item in 1e vs 5e isn't really different. You really can't assume either will have one, or you could say it's likely both had one. Either way, it would be pretty much the same and not much different, and I wanted to highlight the differences. If I was comparing 1e vs 3e I probably would have included it, since 3e really ramped up the magic item bonuses much faster than 1e. But I don't see much difference between 1e and 5e, so I stuck with those areas where there is a clear hard difference. Basically, I wanted to illustrate how in 5e, it's much easier for a 5th level PC to hit AC X compared to a 5th level 1e PC to hit the same equivalent AC value. Which is pretty important if one is making the argument about how deadly encounters can be. [/QUOTE]
