Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ashkelon" data-source="post: 6270408" data-attributes="member: 6774887">Will it? Right now a level 1 fighter in plate armor has an AC of 18. At level 20 the same fighter still has an AC of 18.With my proposed numbers a level 1 fighter in plate armor (who also has Dex 12+) would have an AC of 15. At level 20 the AC grows to 20. That is a max that is only 2 higher than what we currently have. So at most the attack bonus for the high level monsters would need to be increased by only +2 to compensate. That is probably needed already anyway as high level monsters attack bonuses are lower than most PCs. This would put the attack bonus of high level monsters would go from +10 to +12.So if you think raising the max AC in 5e by 2 points would ruin bounded accuracy, it was probably too fragile to begin with. Also, I can't imagine what you must think of racial AC bonuses, fighting style AC bonuses, magic armor and shields, barkskin, haste, prayer, and all the other completely stackable AC bonuses that turn BA on its rear end.</blockquote>
