[QUOTE="Upper_Krust, post: 6109853, member: 326"] Howdy! :) Its unlikely yes, in fact I'd say its something only likely to happen in the (outer) planes, clashes between Abyssal hordes, Hellish legions, the Einheriar army at Ragnarok etc. I sort of don't think there is an actual wrong answer here (between +6 and +8). Simply one of scale. That said, I am leaning towards your idea of +8. Lets give it the orc test. Level 3 = Orc Warrior Level 11 = Unit of 10 Orc Warriors Level 19 = Unit of 100 Level 27 = Unit of 1000 Level 35 = Unit of 10,000 Level 43 = Unit of 100,000 Level 51 = Unit of 1,000,000 Actually looking at the above I think I agree that +8 is better. It allows epic characters to influence a mass battle, but not necessarily win one on their own...saving that for Immortal Tier characters. ...and Pit Fiends: Level 26 Elite = Pit Fiend Level 34 Elite = Unit of 10 Pit Fiends Level 42 Elite/37 Solo = Unit of 100 (A company of Pit Fiends) Its only a thousand squares deep by a thousand across (a square mile single unit). ;) We only need an 84 foot square gaming table to represent it. :D One of the few times we ever see 'epic' level characters against an army is in the movie "Hero".
