Also had a life sense so were the scouts for the patrol. Usually last to die and most would escape but annoyed the players as they flew shot and hid every round behind trees etc. They had Cunning action as long as they were flying the entire round. So I would have 3-4 of each and organized well but not super tactical. Tended to rush party and beat them down in accordance to their orders which were to kill interlopers and maintain secrecy of their existence. Big Boss alone tend to die quickly and alone. I try for bigger groups but not hordes. A horde is a pain to run even using minion rules but a group of 4-6 is easy to run, allows for some useful tactics and allows player to use tactics and respond function as a unit. They feel good knocking out an equal size group which is better sometimes than ganging up on a single bad guy. Of course ganging up on say a Dragon is fun in any world but those are exceptions.I only had maybe 3 dragons the entire campaign to fight. Made my institute my knew metaphysics rule. Dragons grow not by getting old but by growing in power and authority. the larger the region the control the stronger bigger they get. this way they can level up with the party if the party avoids them. Like my party did. Eventually thinking they had to go deal with this dragon before it had control influence over the area they considered theirs.</blockquote>
