[QUOTE="TwoSix, post: 8148067, member: 205"] Just to clarify, I'm not making any sort of RAW argument here. This is simply how I run my games. (And one of the main reasons I post here is to get exposure to the myriad ways people run games differently than I do!) Primarily, lots of humanoid enemies with heavy armor and shields, who also have magic items. Planar enemies with enchanted armor +1 or +2 are very common, and since the players already have that, it's not like I'm propping up their AC more. Or they are NPCs with special features; one of the recurring NPCs in my last game was an ogre vampire monk with a special subclass feature that let him use 10+Str+Wis as his AC, so he ended up with a 22 AC. (24 Str, 20 Wis). Or I just homebrew enemies with high AC, like hoverdrones with enchanted metal plating. The Monster Manual is usually a book of last resort for me, I only pull it out if I need something off-the-cuff. [/QUOTE]
