GOD RULES: Player's Guide (5e) Kickstarter Pre-Launch Page

Hey U_K!

I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before, but I'm a big fan of Dynasty Warriors-style mega-fights as well as Xuanhuan novels, and with this, you often see fights with hundreds of thousands or even millions of troops facing off against each other. This leads me to the question, what's the best way with the 5e God Rules to simulate giga-scale combat? Would it just be reflavoring abilities like the "Orc Horde" spell that was shown off here a while back to make it 10 million orcs rather than 10,000, or are there plans for custom grand scenarios like a single Immortal of War facing off against 10 trillion undead at the gates of a portal to the heavens, or a team of Immortals changing the course of a mortal world war by cleaving islands in twain or smiting armies with mere finger pokes?

Hopefully everything is going well,

-Arcane

Hey Arcanist amigo!

I have Swarm/Unit rules in the Epic Campaigns book.

There are a few nuances with those.

Firstly while the rules scale infinitely, I am wondering if a troop gets to one million I don't think it will should able to affect something of its Challenge Rating unless it becomes some type of hive mind 'uni-being'.

I mean if I throw a million goblins at Zeus he will just laugh at them. But if its some crazy monster composed of 1 million goblins then things are different.

Would it just be reflavoring abilities like the "Orc Horde" spell that was shown off here a while back to make it 10 million orcs rather than 10,000, or are there plans for custom grand scenarios like a single Immortal of War facing off against 10 trillion undead at the gates of a portal to the heavens, or a team of Immortals changing the course of a mortal world war by cleaving islands in twain or smiting armies with mere finger pokes?

You can do it, but just using base creatures probably have a limit.

Hopefully everything is going well,

Bit of an annoying week. Took me 2-3 days to transfer everything over to my new laptop (was having issues with the other one which was using Windows 10). Plus my girlfriend's birthday is this week and arranging a party and stuff have cost me another few days. So not ideal. Prior to that everything was going great though.
