[QUOTE="Noir le Lotus, post: 5731970, member: 75462"] Let's compare the 42 Ac against the attacks of the CR the fighter will meet : * easy encounter : a Horned Devil (CR 16). Best attack at +26 => only hit on 16+, other attacks need 18+. The fighter's AC will protect him very well against this foe. * challenging encounter : a Kraken (CR 18). 3 attacks at +26 => only hit on 16+, other attacks need 18+. The fighter is still well protected against attacks but unless he has a ring of FoM, his chances of getting grabbed are important and then things will be more complicated for him. * hard encounter : Pit Fiend or Balor (CR 20). Best attacks are all above +30, need between 10+ and 12+ to hit him. The fighter will have a hard time but Ac is enough to protect him from PA and will keep him alive for several rounds. * Necromancer Games module random encounter : Tarrasque (CR 25). Best attack at +37, only need a 5+ to hit. He will be crushed like anyone ... I didn't take in count dragons, who have usually a better chance to hit for their CR (Ancient Red Dragon will touch him on a 7+ for a CR 19). As a conclusion, I think we can say that this fighter is a good tank. His AC is high enough to face big foes and last a few rounds. As all tanks, he is almost unhittable by "weaker" monsters but will have other weaknesses (ST, grapple, etc ...). [/QUOTE]
