[QUOTE="nothing to see here, post: 2235518, member: 16432"] Thanks for replying Wulf, it's certainly great to have access to answers 'from the source'. I hope you don't mind house-rule aficianado's like myself trying to tinker with the system. (I also hope people don't mind this slight digression in the discussion). There are three things that I'm trying to integrate into the Grim Tales system right now. 1) A way for the rules to reflect gifted generalship (outside of the Command-check initiative bonus)...so that a weaker force with a great leader actually can 'punch outside it's weight class' 2) A greater impact from the strategic environment (e.g. if one army successfully outmanouvres another, shouldn't there be a strategic advantage other than changing the groudn type?) 3) More tactical options for things like different formations, or the effects of morale. (A phlanx of elite dwarven defenders, and a horder of screaming demons might have the same CR/BR but react very differently to the ebb and flow of battle). Gifted leadership and level of intelligence/morale would seem to be things that, like area of effect attacks, have a much greater impact on mass combat than individual combat and would warrant extraction from the base d20 rules as well...
