No, seriously

Why does air strike checks enemy AC but not player AC?

[stoneychips]

Some spells (or their mob versions) just seem to be biased to give mobs advantages.

There are others, although I don't know them all off the top of my head.

It might be partly on the assumption that monsters won't always choose those spells or won't figure out how to use them the most wisely. I dunno.

monster air strikes do check your AC

whoever told you they didn't is wrong

The game told me so:

this is not my morgue and even if fly makes you take 2 times more damage show me a morgue that died to 100 damage air strike.

You seem to be unaware how AC works, it can reduce damage by exactly 0 no matter how high AC you have

[MainiacJoe]

But it was the morgue that you posted as evidence for your point. And flight is indeed the reason that the titan (airstrike 0-50) did 60 points of damage.

AC damage reduction is roughly -d(AC), not -AC.
