[QUOTE="S'mon, post: 5627361, member: 463"] Here's my attempt at an Orc Horde that won't all die from automatic start-of-turn damage, as happened recently to a horde of minions IMC. :D Thoughts/suggestions? I think having it spit out minions helps keep things exciting and represents the relatively undisciplined nature of the Orcs. Orc Horde Level 6 Solo Brute Gargantuan natural humanoid XP 1,250 Initiative +4 Senses Perception +3 Swarm Attack aura 1; the platoon makes a melee basic attack as a free action against any enemy that starts or ends its turn within the aura. HP 280; Bloodied 140 AC 18; Fortitude 19; Reflex 18; Will 17 Resist half damage from melee and ranged attacks; Vulnerable 10 damage from close and area attacks Saving Throws +5 Speed 5 (charge 7) Action Points 2 m Swarm of Blades (standard; at-will) +11 vs AC; 1d10 + 7 damage M Riposte of Blades (immediate reaction) When the horde is attacked by an adjacent foe, they attack back with a melee basic attack. This is in addition to any opportunity attack for an enemy's ranged or area attack. Hard to Move The Horde cannot be Pushed/Pulled/Slid or knocked Prone by Melee or Ranged attacks, and can Save to avoid being Pushed/Pulled/Slid or knocked Prone by Blast & Burst attacks that do not cover the entire 4x4 area of the Horde. Break Away (immediate reaction; encounter) When the Horde is Bloodied, 2d4 Savage Orcs appear in squares adjacent to the Horde, and act immediately. Demise of the Horde (immediate reaction; encounter) When the Horde is reduced to 0 hp, 2d4 Savage Orc minions are left standing in the 4x4 area that was previously occupied by the Orc Horde, and act immediately.
