If someone says that Bounded Accuracy is a good design goal, then what they're really saying is that it's a good design goal, and by repeating this I have added nothing to the conversation.An entire party focusing on one frost giant can probably drop it in 2-3 rounds, if they're level 8 or so, but that's upwards of a dozen successful hits from the fighter and ranger and so on. Each arrow or sword that successfully lands against that giant does less than 10% of its total HP in damage. That's what I mean by saying they have too many HP. (And monsters very rarely appear alone, so multiply that by the number of monsters in the encounter to see how many successful attacks the party will have to make before they win.)I was being hyperbolic about the hundreds of hits, though. Really, it's bad enough that you have to stab an ogre a dozen times for ~5 at a go, and packs of Thugs are just the worst!</blockquote>
