And the ACs were shaved in a few cases. (Though the DMG from the start warned the GM about the pitfalls of using above-level soldiers, so it's not as if the designers were originally unaware of AC as an issue.)But this idea that there was some large-scale change to hp numbers is just wrong.Another example:MM Pit Fiend (level 26 elite solider) AC 44, 486 hp, damage of mace 2d10+11 +OG 5 MV Pit Fiend (level 26 elite soldier) AC 42, 486 hp, damage of mace 2d19+11 + OG 10Same hp, slight reduction in AC, improved damage.</blockquote>
