Maybe reducing some of the AC whilst pumping HP to make up for that has been done with that in mind in parts too.


The issue is that it has been done inconsistently. Some HP and AC values are consistent with that from 5e, but not all. Enemy HP is up and AC is down, but spell damage for spells which are balanced based on enemy saving throws have not had their values adjusted, which makes them underwhelming compared to attack-roll spells (because saving throws are the same).
