Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sidran" data-source="post: 410093" data-attributes="member: 6160">My Morale rules based a little off GWMorale Routed when a Unit has lost over 50% of its force it must succeed at a Morale Check ( DC of Opposing Units AB+1) or be routed. A Routed unit runs at double movement in the straightest, and safest possible direction from the fieldWhen a force reaches the "edge" of a field it is entitled a Rallying check (DC of Opposing Units AB+2) See rallying belowA Routed unit receives a -2 to their AC, the Unit may be flank attacked, and it receives a -2 to its Attack, and Damage Rolls. In Addition a routed unit receives a -1 circumstance bonus to their Will saves. Chasing ( Unit AoO) When a unit "Breaks" and begins to run the Routing force can opt to give chase. A Unit who opts to chase a Routed unit moves only at its normal movement unless chargingA Unit who opts to chase a routed unit receives a -2 to their AC due to their chaotic surge of victory, but receive a +2 to both their Attack, and Damage rollsCharging A Unit that charges gains double movement for 1d4 rounds. Charging units receive a -2 to their AC due to their recklace disregard for unit cohesion, but Recieve a +2 circumstance bonus to their Attack rolls [while charging] Rallying Units who fall below 50% of their max force, and make their Moral check are considered to be "Making their Last Stand" instead of breaking and running the Unit is effectively Rallied.A Rallied unit redoubles its feriocity. Fighting twice as hard as they were moments before A Rallied unit recieves a +2 circumstance bonus to their attacks, and damage. In addition a Rallied unit gains a +2 to their AC, and a + 1 bonus to their will saves. CR modifiers for Units in stages of MoraleChasing +1 Routed -2 Charging +2 Rallied +3 New [suggested] Additions to the Force Stat BlockInstead of listing every unit as being 100 Men etcUse the Max Force ruleA Unit of 20 Dwarven Stormtroopers is considered at 100% Density at 20 50% At ten and 25% at fiveAlso the Addition of a CR to the Units Stats would be useful for determining the toughness of a Units strength Example of a CR useThose same Dwarven Stormtroopers as an elite strike force Receive a CR 2 meaning that 2 CR 1 Units should be able to Rout it in combat.A Major NPC might get a CR also For instance the War Wizard Tharmos ( And Guard) may be a CR of 3 meaning that 1 CR 2 Unit such as the Said dwarves ,  and 1 CR 1 Unit such as a Unit of Dwarven Regulars should be able to route the Wizard and his Guardsmen CU or Comman Units are usually a Generals private Unit or the Honor Guard of the Emperor. Usually a CR 3 or Higher CU's are the elite of the elite troops meant to keep the tacticians or the major NPC's alive. An example of a CU might be the Dwarven Invincibles a unit of highly elite dwarven warrior/ berserkers who each have at least one magic item (if not more) These Items could be magically imbued Battle Axes of Throwing/ Returning or a number of other odities.Effective Force Level (EFL) The effective point level of an Army For small battles a DM may want an EFL of 1,000 Points, or even only 500 points.  For larger battles a 3,000 Point EFL or more might come into the offing. Creating a EFL force ( 580 Point army) A Dwarven Army 4 CR 1 Units Axemen (300)/ Crossbowmen (100) 2 CR 2 Units 1 Stormtrooper Unit (20) / 1 Berserk Unit (10)(Rage)1 CR 4 Unit  1 Dwarven Invincibles Unit (8) ( T/R Battle Axes) Tactician (1) Suggested EFL for Units by CR   ( Not detailing units of 1/2 or less fractions of a CR such as a Medical Unit ( Clerics) CR 1/4) CR 1 - 50 Points per Unit with a Challange Rating of 1CR 2-3 100 -150 Points per Unit of CR 2-3CR 4-5 175-200 Points for a Unit of CR 4-5 CR 6  300 Points for a Unit of CR 6 Higher CR's than 6 should not occur in a battle unless they are monsters such as Dragons ( CR Adult 6, Old 8, Very Old 10, Ancient 11, Wyrm 13, Great Wyrm 14), or the Tarasque (CR 16) Some other creatures in a formed unit should receive slightly elivated CR's Creatures such as Celestials, or Demons, and Devils should receive a CR of +2 of that of a normal unit of their quality Elemental Bloodlines such as Genasi should receive a CR of +1  of that of a normal unit of their quality Subraces such as Drow, or Duergar shoud receive a CR + 2   of that of a normal unit of their quality.Also some Creatures should receive a lesser CR than the normal unit of their quality such as a Halfling Footmen's Division, or a Kobold Berserk Unit.Units whose average size consists of Small receive a CR -1/2 of that of a normal unit of their quality.Units whose average size consists of Tiny receive a CR -3/4  of that of a normal unit of their qualityPowerful NPC's such as the General, or the Wizard may have their own individual CR a Wizard of low levels most likely will not occur as an individual on the battlefield but will work in a Unit as a medic or Relief valve. Mid to high level NPC's [To do]</blockquote>
