I faintly remember several times where my PC would try to guess a monsters defenses (big and slow - low ref; kind of dumb - low will; totally mindless - high will)So I got out the Monster Manual and browsed a bit. What I do notice is that it is pretty random. For some monsters, all defenses are about the same, with AC slightly higher. Some have huge differences.Soulspike Devourer p. 69: AC 38, Fort 37, Ref 29 (!!), Will 34Purple Worm p.214: AC 33, Fort 34, Ref 30, Will 29By the way, the Magma Beast p 214 has resistance fire and vulnerability cold. No idea why not the fire elemental. My guess is that the Monster Manual was a bit rushed (like all of the 4E core books), and another round of editing and cleanup would have caught these things.</blockquote>
