[QUOTE="Dareoon Dalandrove, post: 100863, member: 2277"] eben The idea of focusing on the pc and running a mass battle with a predetermined result has been used in my campaign before. i don't like it. If your suppose to lose that's it your going to lose and nothing you can do will change that. I don't like that idea. If there are rules for running mass battle it gives the pc a chance. There may be times when that chance seems impossible but it's still there. As for reading feist. I assume that you mean Raymond Feist. I have to disagree in a sense. I do agree that a magic users duty on a battle field would be to counter what the other magic users are throwing. However, they would still try to cause damage to your opponents ranks. magic on the battle field can be very dangerous. How are those Phalanx soldiers going to fair when they have been blocked off by a wall of fire and cut off from support? what about a prismatic spray? maybe dropping a wall of Iron on them? How are the going to attack you if they are slipping on ice or grease? magic can be a powerful weapon on the battle field. [/QUOTE]
