[QUOTE="Flipguarder, post: 4876067, member: 61430"] 1. I dont understand how this works. If both the 1/2 level bonuses are being removed (from the monsters to hit, and the pcs ac, then it changes very slightly the ability for the monster to hit. for instance a lvl 10 monster might have a 18 to hit ac, and a level 8 pc has a 25 ac.

I understand that this difference doesn't really show itself until you get far in difference but the difference doesn't really get that large until the difference is above pc level +5 in which damage becomes a real issue imo. And monsters don't become solos (due to not getting any extra attacks or bonuses to saves) they just kill pcs in 2-3 hits instead of 6-8. 2. My campaign is the same way.
