How many arrows can hit a square?

[Machiavelli]

It's -4 AC and -4 on attacks for "squeezing" in melee combat, like frank said, as far as I know. I don't know of any specific restrictions against ranged combat while squeezing, except when squeezing through an area where your weapon won't fit (which is covered in specific setting descriptions).

I may be "wrong", but this is how I've seen it played.

Ultimately, the answer is hordes of bowmen kill ANYTHING if they get a chance.

For simplicity, I suggest that once you get over 100 archers that you simply declare some semi-arbitrary amount of damage each round. Enough not to kill the PCS in about three rouhds, but enough to scare the pants off them and make them come up with some imaginative solution.

Note that such large groups of low-level archers tend to be easily panicked by fireballs landing in their midst and other such terrifying things.

The bottom line is to find a really easy way to handle this.

One hit every 20 shots, every 20th hit being a confimed crit.
