[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 5682601, member: 463"] No, Wizard-1 AC 14 is not a problem. Barbarian-1 AC 14/15, or melee/two-blade Ranger-1 AC 14/15, that is a problem. :lol: Edit: At low level, IME a ranged-attack PC might get attacked once in a combat, if the enemy have a controller with AoEF attacks - which typically target Ref or Fort, not AC. If a Wizard-1 or similar PC is drawing multiple non-minion attacks in a single round, then either the DM is incredibly mean or something has gone horribly wrong with PC tactics. The only time I can recall seeing that was with a Wiz-2 IMC 3 sessions ago; she won init vs the attacking wolf pack, stepped forward, and close blast-5'd the wolves with burning hands, killing 1. Then on their init 3 wolves attacked her, the 2 Elites AP'd, bit her twice, and took her down. The little wolf with them then ripped her throat out, all before the other PCs could act. But if she had just stayed back and used a different (ie, ranged or area) attack she'd have been fine. [/QUOTE]
