[QUOTE="UngeheuerLich, post: 4979909, member: 59057"] This is a problem which was there in 3.x too. Defenses were neclected to raise your attack just a little bit. The results are: both monsters and characters hit better than the system assumes and gets much more binary. Though i agree with eamon, that 18/14/11 is a viable array, especially if you chose a race, which boosts at least the 14 (if it boosts the 18 and not the 14 you are often better advised to use 16/16 array), and if primary and secondary don´t boost the same NAD. But keterys is right with his observation: the main flaw is stat increase. But of course, you need to think about some feats then. Another flaw is monsters doing no damage on a miss. If monsters had more miss lines and delivering status effects only with hits. So hit rate should be much lower than -2 compared to AC attacks. And then you would get rid off 2 problems: a) too many status effects on PCs b) too low FRW defenses [/QUOTE]
