[QUOTE="Wish, post: 1901974, member: 13404"] Marimmar@home has a great point. At high levels, you're going to get hit. You might as well just get used to it. But suppose you get yourself into a bad tactical situation and take a full attack from a dragon with +35 to hit after he's had a few rounds to get your measure. The difference between being AC 33 and AC 23 is going to be 10 points of power attack, or about 70 points of damage. It's the difference between the party cleric busting out the heal spell or the ressurection spell. AC per level is going to vary so widely that your question really can't be answered directly, which is why we're all giving roundabout answers on the general topic of armor class. In the campaigns I play in, one group ranges in AC from 14 to 33, before buffing spells, at around 16th level. The guy with the AC 14 doesn't even get buffing spells. His AC is so bad it's written off as a lost cause. In another group, they range from 21 to 29, at 15th level, a much less extreme range (and it's 26-29 without the wizard). My third group runs from 24 (recently up from 21) to 30, at level 14. [/QUOTE]
