Mass Combat


Link to Mass Combat Rules

Rules Modification:
     1. Leadership factor = level + (average of wis + int + cha)
     2. Experience Factor = (average hp/4.5 x 10) + (Lvl or HD x 10) + (Magic Lvl x10)
     3. Equipment factor = (average damage x 5) + ((11-ac) x 5)
     4. Mounts add HP and average AC with rider
     5. BFR = Leadership factor + Experience Factor + Equipment factor
     6. If BFR is over 125 take the square root of the value over 125 and add it to 125 to get the final BFR.
      Example BFR = 150. 150-125=25. square root of 25 is 5. Final BFR is 125 + 5 = 130

The Battle of Elephants and Assassins


The Landfall forces of Archduke Lernal and the Thieves Guild were defeated in open battle just a few miles outside of the city by a combined army fielded by the Lords of Norwold. The hard fought battle ended with the Landfall army mostly routed and a few elite units surrendering. The Archduke and Baroness Bulga were killed during the battle. 

On the left flank, Lords Rolf and Veliko led their horse archers and Mythas Heavy infantry to a grinding victory over the superior numbers of the Landfall militia. In the center, Lord Koract and Master Kaga skillfully led a combined human/dwarven force against elite adventurers to a bloody stalemate. On the right flank, Lord Tull led a 1,000 heavy cavalry impetuous charge into Nomad Elephants and killed almost half of the Elephants on the initial charge. In the end, the entire Landfall force either routed or surrendered.
