[QUOTE="Pickles JG, post: 4652320, member: 61501"] You need to improve by 29 points from 1 to 30 to keep pace with monsters. Level accounts for 15 of that & magic 6 so there is an 8 point gap. Your attack stat had better go up by 8 for +4 so 4 points worse off at 30th. AC will go up by 6 for heavy armour users & 4 for the others if its a primary or secondary so a 2 point or 4 point worsening. NADs will be the worst off. The one off your primary stat & secondary if boosted goes up by 4 again. The other one by 1 so you are 7 points easier to hit in the NADs at 30th that 1st - which is huge. There are a bunch of easy mitigators - feats for NADs & AC. Demigod for +1 to 2 things - importanly attack. A fair few items have bonuses to the NADs outside of Enhancement bonuses - in light of the dificulty keeping up these seem fair enough. The +1 attack feat it utterly tediously broken but keeps you up with the curve. I think that combats will get more grindy at higher level but there are some stupendous powers out there to compensate - I have no idea how this all balances out but I do not think its quite as bad as the PC attack & defences in isolation would indicates. Except getting hit in yout worse NAD on a 2 all the time..... I think the PCs should probalby ahve got a 1 point bump to everything at paragon & epic but its clunky & everything may well be alright.
