[QUOTE="namfoodle, post: 31152, member: 2491"] I like the 7th Sea rules for the brute squad. Brute squads work like this, You have groups of squads that attack the PC's, they range from 3- whatever your heart desires. To hit one of them there is a very very low TN (7th Sea revolves around target numbers and you roll piles of d10s to try and get there). If the PC wants to hit more than one in the squad he adds 5 to the base number. So, if there are 5 brutes in a squad the target number to hit one of them is 5 and all 5 would be 25. I think that this sort of thing could make D+D go way over the top. Imagine swarms of Orcs and goblins rampaging their way toward the bound and determined PC's. This is an opinion of mine yes but I am not so well versed in the ways of the d20 so I thought I would ask because I am trying to set up a game here rather soon. (hopfully!) How would this sort of thing work in d20? Would you add half of an orcs AC to a roll and use that as the new AC to beat?
