"This terrain is a hill, this is a river, and this is army!""But DM, don't you mean an army?""No, I mean army, as in a mass quantity of substance like water or forest""Can I attack it?""Sure, but you will just disperse some of them for awhile making the terrain clear in one square with a melee attack, or more with a burst. The squares will fill back in quickly though. You could move through it at full speed too, but would probably get hit a few times.""Okay, I charge through and attack the nobleman we were hired to kill""Alright, take 6 damage""But you didn't roll!""I know, its hostile terrain, don't worry""Aww, well can I make an opportunity attack?""What!? No!""Oh fine, I attack the noble..."Wading into the enemy: 6 damage at the beginning of each turn and on any turn you move into such a square of terrain (but only once each turn).100 archers per round seems a little unrealistic for targeting a PC. In most armies I don't think the archers fired every round with accuracy, and I don't think they really 'picked targets' (correct me if I'm wrong). If armies are fighting and PCs are simply on the battleground (this is the scenario I think you had in mind) then the players are just going to be hit by a few stray arrows, I would assume they take about the same amount of damage per round as above.If you want to differentiate 'wading in' from 'free-fire', make one deal more damage and one hindering terrain.</blockquote>
