[QUOTE="Lancelot, post: 4828273, member: 30022"] As a player and DM of Avengers, I have to agree with the majority of posts here. Of all the "unbalanced" problems to have, a high AC is by far the least worrying to me. Wizard "orb locks", 4+ ranger attacks per round, and battlerage vigor "damage reduction" are all bigger headaches. Given my experience is that PCs are a little too easy to hit, I'd be okay to see a build that is "only" hit on a 15 or better. As noted, the PC has sacrificed some of their offensive capability for some more defensive options. Seems a fair choice to me. Their hit points and surges are going to be poor, so when they get hit - they will feel it. Much more so than the defenders. ...and Avengers are always going to be in the thick of the fighting. They can't stand off like most other strikers (warlock, sorcerer, bow ranger, shuriken rogue) and they don't have the resilience of a barbarian. From my own play experience, my avenger's AC is the highest in the party... and I still end up dropping to zero hp as much as the warden. His AC is lower, but his hp and surges are huge. [/QUOTE]
