[QUOTE="Maxperson, post: 9286861, member: 23751"] I wasn't suggesting that they were. I was refuting the idea that the thread is here for sure because DMs are unwilling to create monsters or use the ones that are there. That sounded like you were ignoring that it could be a vocal minority. :) Yes. Yes. Or you pick a feat if that option is in use. Usually, yes. That was the choice that 5e took, sure. It didn't have to, though. They could have modified damage so that it didn't rise as quickly as it currently does and bound accuracy. Hit points wouldn't need to balloon in that case. The ballooning of hit points isn't because of bounded accuracy, but rather due to the decision to balance combat around resource attrition. Again, not necessarily. If you reduce the rate of damage increase, then even if bounded you don't have to increase attack and AC. See above. It wasn't supposed to be and isn't 20 levels. They wanted orcs to be a threat for longer, not for the entire 1-20 experience. [/QUOTE]
