Right now, their stuff isn't capped, which means they quickly exceed any AC the PCs can achieve and make saves against most effects/spells the PCs can throw at them. Let's take the tarrasque, for instance. It's listed as CR 59 (UK, not MM), or ECL 38 (I think that's right). It has a +48 base attack bonus, which alone will rip through almost any PC's AC, and its +57 total attack bonus (not counting the average +10 from the d20 roll) is well over the top.OTOH, if we give it EAB, it would have a +34 BAB, and a +43 attack bonus - much more reasonable, IMO. Granted, this is an extreme example - I only picked it because I happened to be starting the T-Z section of conversion - but I think it illustrates the point well.</blockquote>
