[QUOTE="GMforPowergamers, post: 8871587, member: 67338"] I agree then. The bounded accuracy is too tightly bound. 20pt swing on ACs over 20 levels should be fine. that would in 3e/4e/5e terms mean between AC 10 and AC 30 in 2e and 1e terms that was AC 10 and -10 (with a few exceptions up to a -12) the problem is that AC doesn't scale with level it scales with equipment for PCs and monster ACs as low as 17 or 18 can be seen at extreme levels. Useing the SRD MM1 we have Tarrasqu CR30 25 AC +19 to hit Ancient Red Drag CR24 22 AC +17 to hit Ancient Blue Drag CR 23 22 AC +16 to hit Lich CR 21 17 AC (22 with shield) +12 to hit (with spell attacks) Ancient Black Drag CR 21 22AC +15 to hit Pitfiend CR20 19AC +14 to hit so of the highest (evil) 6 monsters the BEST AC is 25 and the worst is 17... and only 1 of those (the AC19) is ONLY a CR20 the rest are higher. IMO no monster with a CR of 20 or higher should have less then a 21 AC and by 30 we should be talking 28+ for AC. [/QUOTE]
