The existing feats and enhancements haven't changed from their current implementation. No enemies in the game, including Ravenloft enemies, have any Deflection. Yes, we could use this in a raid or dungeon encounter to make melee DPS more valuable, but this isn't a stat we plan to add to regular enemies. |
