Also, if it is, then why use altering monster stats to undermine those numbers?But the fiction is not tied to the numbers, as the numbers get changed arbitrarily anyway. There is no fixed giant stats, as it could be solo giant with low AC and attack bonus or a minion giant with high AC and attack bonus. You don't have a static benchmark to compare the numbers to.Yes, one could use escalating numbers to show that higher level creatures completely outclass lower level ones, but 4e doesn't do that as enemies are always level appropriate and their stats get changed so that things are hittable.</blockquote>
