[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5441381, member: 57383"] That looks OK. I'd worry the Level Adjustment was too high, but LAs are a very inexact science. Well if we fit them to traditional rankings the Captain would command a company, the Colonel a Batallion or Regiment, the General a Brigade or Division and the Marshall an Army. The numbers involved would be too big to be run though, It'd end up with entries like "brigade (12th level fiend knight generals plus 5 8th level fiend knight colonels and 20-40 4th level fiend knight captains and 100-200 2nd to 4th level fighters and 1000 to 2000 1st fighters)" Besides, the typical Organization entries don't include the larger units - they don't have "tribal army" in the Orc entry, after all! How about something like this: [B]Organization:[/B] Solitary, patrol (1-4 plus 5-20 2nd to 4th level fighters; 1d% (round down) mounted on warhorses), lance (2-20 mounted on undead steeds or warhorses), troop (2-20 mounted on undead steeds plus 10-100 2nd-4th level fighters mounted on warhorses) or host (as troop plus 100-1000 1st to 3rd level human, orc or hobgoblin warriors) [/QUOTE]
