My Problem with AC and DC.

One thing has been bothering me about how AC and DC's are calculated because under the new rules, every number is calculated the same, but in reality, they are not. The following example illustrates this point.

Let's say there are two characters. One has a +7 bonus to their AC and the other a +7 bonus on their attack. Since the bonuses are equal, you would think the attacker would have a 50/50 chance of succeeding. However, this is not the case. In order to hit an AC 17, the attacker needs to roll a 10 or higher (a 55% chance).

Either the attacker should have to roll HIGHER than the AC/DC or they should be based on 11 instead of 10.


In total agreement. Started a thread about it yesterday if you want to check it out.
