Do you tell all the PCs the defense scores of each of their enemies? The monsters have no reason to know that Joe has a worse AC than Jack, and thanks to Int bonii to AC, the guy in a dress in the back row is very probably as hard to hit as the plate-armored tank. They can make educated guesses, but unless the PCs are fighting some sort of tactical genius, they shouldn't have a map of PC armor classes to go by.I think it's also worth pointing out that paladin marking, while inferior to fighters in some regards, is unbeatable against minions. A paladin-marked minion _must_ engage the paladin if he's going to engage anything, or he's going to fall over dead. Even against fighters, is a minion really going to decide to risk his life swinging at someone else rather than taking worse odds to hit the fighter?</blockquote>
