In one of the previews of the equipment chapter shown at D&DXP, it mentions how there are increasing tiers of armor types, such as fullplate that gets replaced by godplate (presumably at epic levels). Since this seems to be a listing of base armor, rather than just magical armor, it is very possible that armor will increase in bonus far beyond just +5 bonus, because characters are actually swapping out base armor type as well as increasing magical bonuses as they increase in level. Since Heavy Armor doesn't let you add your Dex or Int modifier to AC, there may not necessarily be any way for a PC in Heavy Armor to increase AC at all without really good armor (though I admit I don't know enough about this to be certain).It might very well be possible that normal armor can be powerful enough to improve the AC of even very high level monsters.</blockquote>
