How to Deal With High ACs in a Game

If you give someone plus one plate mail plus one shield, they're going to have a high AC. You don't want to do it all the time because then it gets boring. Make sure that you're not just building encounters that directly avoid armor class. If you use an online tool to figure out encounter, encounter ratings and stuff, you can just pretend there's six characters or pretend they're seven characters. As you increase that horizontally, the CR rating is going to be higher. The monsters that they fight are going to be tougher or they could fight more monsters. And so it's going to make battles harder.
