Tbf, a 32 would hit almost anything. We literally had this at one of my tables the other day.
DM: does a 32 hit?
ME, THE FIGHTER: WHAT‽‽ That’s about twice what you need to hit! How high is its attack modifier‽
DM: And it wasn’t even a crit. I only rolled a 19.
To be fair though, I was bluntly tanking a bloody Roc, if that was what was gonna kill me, I’d be like “yeah, that tracks.”






Looks like the joke flew over your head…
But to indulge your more serious angle, yeah, it’s well thought through. And if your source is the one I think it is, that one also packages in that “NATO Phonetic Alphabet” is a bit of a misnomer.
It’s not a phonetic alphabet, since it doesn’t type out what sounds one must make to pronounce words correctly. And the main devs weren’t NATO, but ICAO. NATO was just gonna adopt it and issue some feedback for improvements.
