If the only (or main) thing that separates higher and lower-level characters is HP and damage, and HP is supposed to largely represent non-direct hits, then the explanation falls apart when you have a swarm of low-level poisonous insects attacking a higher-level fighter, "missing" him but wearing away his endurance (passing his AC and wearing down his HP) but still poisoning him (which would require physical contact).I'm also skeptical of whether they can adequately balance things so that a level 20 (or whatever) can't be killed by a bunch of city guards, but that adventurers strong enough to kill said demon will still be challenged by an adequate number of lower-level monsters?Even if they can work the numbers so magically that a 10th-level fighter is still challenged by 10 level 1 orcs, if you have 5 PCs in a party, what DM wants to manage 50 orcs to present a reasonable challenge for that party?I LOVE the idea of flatter math, but I have no idea how they're going to accomplish their stated goals.</blockquote>
