The main thing -IMHO- in larger scale combat is that it is consistent and fair while it speeds up combat resolution- especially when it isn't the focus of the game (RPGs v. War/Skirmish games). I had worked out a saving throw system that I thought made sense "on paper", but I haven't playtested it. Let's say a "squad" of 10 (1HD each) orcs has an average Reflex Save Modifier of -1. A Web spell gets dropped on them and they are all standing within the area of effect.Whomever is controlling the orcs rolls a save on a d20 and applies the modifier (in this case, -1) and compares it to the spell's DC. Depending on the margin by which the roll succeeds or fails, a greater or lesser percentage of the troops are affected. Using the table below:miss by 5+ = 100% affectedmiss by 4 = 90% affectedmiss by 3 = 80% affectedmiss by 2 = 70% affectedmiss by 1 = 60% affectedmake exactly = 50% affectedmake by 1 = 40% affectedmake by 2 = 30% affectedmake by 3 = 20% affectedmake by 4 = 10% affectedmake by 5+ = 0% affectedSo if the Spell DC was 13 and the modified roll was a 14, 4 of the 10 orcs are caught by the web spell. Round down for fractions. It probably isn't worth it to use unless dealing with more troops/squads than just 10 orcs, but you get the idea.Make sense? Or is loopy?</blockquote>
