[QUOTE="Charlaquin, post: 7844012, member: 6779196"] Elegant is not the way I would describe a system where only a very narrow range of monster CRs can both hit you and be hit by you. I disagree. Y... Yes? The endless horde of ostensibly weak monsters overwhelming the individual strong hero is pretty classic, and I consider it a serious problem that it wasn’t possible until 4e, and 4e’s solution was pretty kludgy. 5e finally fixed it, by keeping target numbers within a fairly narrow range and letting accuracy bonuses be genuine bonuses. And it does. Plenty, in fact. It means you can survive hits from more powerful opponents, or more hits from weaker ones, and it means you can kill things in fewer hits (and/or you can land more hits in one go), and most importantly it means new cool things you can actually [i]do[/i] instead of just doing the same things with bigger numbers (but the same actual probabilities).
