D&D 5E The math of D&D Next; a moderating proposal

[AntiStateQuixote]

Q: Another awesome 4E innovation—minions. How are these one hit wonders influencing monster design for the next iteration of D&D?

A: One of the things we're exploring in the game is what we refer to as a bounded accuracy system. Effectively, we're looking into whether or not we can strip out the assumption of accuracy and defense scaling by level, and let progression rest largely within the scaling damage, hit points, and capabilities of both characters and monsters.

Color me VERY happy.
