[QUOTE="Majoru Oakheart, post: 4219745, member: 5143"] Does it involve the players? If they are involved in the battle and they are somehow using the goblin slave to attack the Orc somehow then I'd make an attack roll using the goblin slave's stats and see if I hit the Orc. If I did, then I'd have the Orc die. The PC who used his ability to control the goblin slave should get full benefit from the ability. Or if they just convinced the goblin to join them, then he's officially one of the heroes for now and gets all their benefits. If the battle doesn't involve the PCs then I don't need rules. Rules are only there to resolve conflicts between the players and the DM. So, if the reason I need to know who wins the battle is because I know there is going to be a slave revolt and the goblin slaves are going to rise up against their orc oppressors then the way I'd resolve it is simple: I'd think, "What happens to the storyline if the uprising works? The Orcs are no longer a threat to the town and the players no longer have a threat to deal with....I don't want that to happen. The goblins lose." [/QUOTE]
