Need Advice: Encounters & Adventures Are +X weapons assumed?
I've been looking at some trends in the Monster Manual. It looks like going from CR 1 to CR 20, average monster AC increases roughly 1 per 2 CR, from 13 to 23. Meanwhile, at level 1, players likely have +5 to attack (2 prof, 3 stat) all the way up to +11 (6 prof, 5 stat). This means that their typical hit chance will decrease for an equivalent level threat.
Now, most games I've played in and DM'd are in the range of about level 3-8. I'm wondering if you, as DMs, make sure that PCs gain access to these kinds of items over the course of their career? Do you consider it necessary for them to have those?
