Players do far more damage as a group, especially if you are including feats, than monsters. Creatures like Balors don't have a bunch of spells with high DCs for challenging parties. They don't have ACs so high level 7 characters can't hit them. Nothing is like 3E. This game is built to play fast and easy with everything decided by damage in combat. No save or die spells. Multiple saves for save or lose spells like petrification. So damage is king. Characters always have the damage advantage against solo creatures unless you specifically build the creature to be otherwise. I'd start by boosting ACs on creatures like Balors. It's a bit ridiculous that level 7 PCs can beat a balor. Not sure why the game designers at WotC thought it was cool to make the balor as weak as it is. It's not CR 19 in this game.</blockquote>
