I did not specify any changes to AC.You absolutely keep the six ability scores, AC, HP, Saves, and there is still tons of design space to work with.That is the fine line that would have to be walked.It is more risky. Which is why everyone but the Dark Souls guys err towards the 'too little' end of the scale.They seem to be getting away with it - so I can't really fault their hustle.Sadly, the above in bold is absolutely true.I simply feel that there is a lot of design space that will never be explored because the majority of gamers are satisfied with a straightforward setting veneer atop their game of 5e D&D.I fully realize that I am an outlier in this regard.Bounded accuracy doesn't make scaling the system for something like fixed HP that hard. (as an example)The PC's have fixed HP and you simply scale the monster hp and spell damage to fall within that scale to do the effects you want.But...  Such a system conversion would require some actual playtesting to make sure everything runs smooth the way you envision it.Which is probably why such a ground-up 5e mod will not be done.</blockquote>
