[QUOTE="evilbob, post: 6358928, member: 9789"] Is there a source for this? Hopefully one that talks about it in more detail? :) I dunno; having 50 guys means you won't be doing ANYTHING else. No fireballs, no dimension doors, no nothing. Then again I guess if cantrips don't suck and they are at-will, maybe that's ok? And while yes, they will have +10 HP at level 10 and +4 bonus to hit, skeletons start out at 13 HP. That's 23 HP at level 10 - probably not more than a single average attack? (Again, hard to know without the MM.) I'm just envisioning a single monster with multiattack going through 3 or 4 a turn. Then again, at least they aren't hitting you? Also, you can send out different instructions to different groups. It just takes an action per instruction. (At least how I am interpreting the rules.) And yes: the "I just made a huge hoard of undead that are masterless" is definitely something you could do. At least until the horde killed you. :) I guess I'm happy to "wait and see" how this goes. Maybe it's better balanced than it seems. My main complaint is that you can't start your character until level 5. They really needed a level 1 "animate object"-like spell for necros. I'll probably make one as a house rule... [/QUOTE]
