Want to have your epic PCs wade through a horde of 1,000 goblins? Minion rules will only go so far--but a skill encounter using attack rolls and narrative description could handle it easily.I bet there's even a way to marry the two systems together--suppose, for instance, the PCs are leading an army on the field of battle. You can use a skill encounter to track the overall battle, and "zoom in" on a few skirmihes involving the PCs. You could even give bonuses or levy penalties to the PCs in the skirmishes based on their progress in the battle, or count victory in a skirmish as one or more skill successes.</blockquote>
