[QUOTE="Tony Vargas, post: 6881371, member: 996"] We certainly can't accuse 5e of being unambiguous - it is intentionally written in something closer to natural language. They work if the intent is that most characters are 'bad' at most saves and become more vulnerable to same-level attackers as they level up. I don't care for that intention, myself, I prefer something more like classic D&D, where higher level characters get better at making saves, net of their enemies also getting more deadly. I don't see a good/simple way to do that under Bounded Accuracy (there's not that much wiggle-room in 5 ASIs and +4 prof over 20 levels), but saves advancing enough to about keep pace is an easy enough tweak and can be applied in a simple way that customizes other corners of the game with similar issues, as well. One instance of a neat fix. Perfect is never on the table, better always is. 5e isn't strictly speaking better than it's recent predecessors, but it is much more open to being /made better/ for a given DM's specific purposes.
