[QUOTE="John Out West, post: 7555396, member: 6893656"] What I did in [URL="https://westboundgame.com/"]Westbound [/URL]was make enemies either Coordinated or Uncoordinated. Uncoordinated meant that a team of creatures under the control of one player or DM could not attack the same target twice in one round. Players could attack the same creature, but a player with a pet would have to choose two different targets. With Feats, a player could be coordinated with their pet wolf or a DM may have a Captain that makes his men Coordinated, but most of the time characters are Uncoordinated. Having multiple creatures, for the DM, means a higher chance of dealing higher damage in that single strike, but it also allowed a single PC to fight 5 Goblins without being overwhelmed instantly by 10 glass shanks. The system's characters have extremely low HP and characters are most often killed in a single powerful attack.
