Not you really, but I'm starting to think many gamers are just whiners who think they should hit the vast majority of the time and they should rarely get hit. Orcus SHOULD pound the snot out of a PC, as should any BBEG at level. They're BIG BAD EVIL GUYS not kinda-big, kinda-bad, sorta-evil guys. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> PCs also have access to a lot of things BBEG's don't.: 1. A TEAM to buff, provide bonuses and nerfs/status effects, activations, and HEALING that most BBEG's don't. He gets stunned by the controller, it doesn't matter what his attack bonus is, the entire party gets a "free round" of attacks without retribution. 2. Feats to protect certain areas/defenses. Out-of-the-book baddies usually have one fairly obviously much lower defense too but I don't see too many people complaining about Monster X having a low reflex but some do complain because they can't just use their FORT attack on everything without thinking. Characters don't exist in a vacuum and they don't adventure alone. Examining a single character vs. an encounter is simply inaccurate.</blockquote>
