[QUOTE="aco175, post: 8137548, member: 27385"] The highest AC in my games has been 22. I never give out +3 armor or shield, maybe +1 at most, so I'm not worried about high AC. Plus, I would give the ancient dragon a magic penetrating attack if the PCs were trying to make PCs this way. This goes back to other threads about BBEG and hitting and such. The +5 reaction until your next turn is good. The bad guys that use it are frustrating to the PCs. I also have given it out as part of a magic item. Maybe I give out +1 chain shirt that allows casting [I]shield [/I]1/day. It comes in handy for the PCs and is only once per day. I find making the +5 bump by 1 for each higher level slot feels cheap and not worth it. A 6th level spell slot for +10 to AC is powerful, but does not feel like a 6th level spell. Maybe +5 to all your allies in 30ft is better, but even that feels like a 4th level spell. [/QUOTE]
