[QUOTE="DMShoe, post: 4080886, member: 16607"] Deliberately vague? Me? Quite probably! Generally, I'm letting you guys experience the thrill of discovery. It's much more gratifying to you to uncover the answer through deduction than if I simply tell you outright. Really. Even if you feel like throwing your mouse at your screen right now. The info coming from D&D Experience will give you a good estimation of the way that defenses work, for both PCs and Monsters, since each follows its own set of rules. But as noted earlier, it's true that the better of an ability score "pair" is what applies to the respective defense. The rest of the bonuses are going to be class, race, feat, or other bonus types. Even more data points can be gleaned from the variety of stat blocks on the Dungeons of Dread stat cards that'll be floating around --- that's 60 new monsters worth of stat blocks to add to your kobold-skirmisher stocked dungeon. At least, those stats are close enough, since many of the monsters and some of the math have undergone some subtle changes in the past few months. [/QUOTE]
