[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5444896, member: 57383"] I think we'll need to elaborate a separate organization for each "rank" of fiend knights, probably including a command staff and honour guard for the high ranking ones. We can also add a bit about their army units in the actual description. Sounds like we're on a similar wavelength, although I'd like to leave in an organization with lots of low-level cannon fodder. They may make little difference mechanically, but it just feels wrong to have a Marshall without an army. Something like: [B]Captain:[/B] Solitary, patrol (1-4 plus 5-20 2nd to 4th level fighters; 1d% (round down) mounted on warhorses), lance (2-12 mounted on undead steeds plus 10-40 2nd-4th level fighters mounted on warhorses) or host (as lance plus plus 50-100 1st to 3rd level humanoid infantry) [B]Colonel:[/B] Solitary, command staff (1 plus 1-4 fiend knight captains on undead steeds, and 1-3 4th level spellcasters and 4-16 2nd to 4th level fighters mounted on warhorses), troop (1 plus 2-8 fiend knight captains on undead steeds plus 2-5 4th level spellcasters and 20-80 2nd-4th level fighters mounted on warhorses) or host (as troop plus 100-300 1st to 3rd level humanoid infantry) [B]General:[/B] Solitary, command staff (1 plus 1-3 fiend knight colonels and 2-8 fiend knight captains on undead steeds, and 1-4 8th level spellcasters and 3-12 8th level fighters mounted on warhorses), troop (1 plus 1-4 fiend knight colonels and 2-20 fiend knight captains on undead steeds plus 2-5 8th level spellcasters and 50-150 2nd-4th level fighters mounted on warhorses) or host (as troop plus 300-1000 1st to 3rd level humanoid infantry) [B]Marshall:[/B] Solitary, command staff (1 plus 1-3 fiend knight generals mounted on nightmares, and 2-16 fiend knight colonels on undead steeds, and 1-4 12th level spellcasters mounted on nightmares, and 5-20 fiend knight captains on undead steeds), troop (1 plus 1-4 fiend knight generals mounted on nightmares, and 2-20 fiend knight colonels and 20-200 fiend knight captains on undead steeds, plus 2-5 12th level spellcasters mounted on nightmares, and 150-500 2nd-4th level fighters mounted on warhorses) or host (as troop plus 1000-3000 1st to 3rd level humanoid infantry) [/QUOTE]
