Higher level characters got better at hitting (attack bonus) yet defenses (AC) were based on what made sense for the target. So a large bloated worm was not super difficult for the typical soldier to hit and adventurers of high level could scarcely miss. You could see easily that the adventurer was improving in skill due to an increased overall hit percentage.  Now that worm had the hitpoints of a small army so many hits were needed to defeat it. If the high level adventurer had as much difficulty hitting the broad side of a barn at 15th level as he did swinging a sword at a kobold at level 1 how could he say there was measurable improvement over his career?  To do this we would have to make the worm so tough that a soldier couldn't even hit it. Then the high level fighter looks impressive for hitting the broad side of a barn 50-65% of the time. It also means that a single worm could wipe out armies of thousands unless our hero happened to be nearby. This is perfectly OK since such a creature won't spawn unless a hero capable of hitting it is nearby.</blockquote>
