Message: <blockquote data-quote="77IM" data-source="post: 4800198" data-attributes="member: 12377">That's a good idea.  How does this phrasing sound:Multiple CreaturesA melee or ranged attack which targets or affects multiple creatures can target the throng more than once in place of targeting additional creatures.  The throng takes damage and suffers effects separately from each such attack (although two identical effects do not stack).  A single attack can target or affect the throng up to one time per constituent creature.For the sample creature:Nine SoldiersA melee or ranged attack which targets or affects multiple creatures can target the guard squadron more than once in place of targeting additional creatures.  The squadron takes damage and suffers effects separately from each such attack (although two identical effects do not stack).  A single attack can target or affect the guard squadron up to nine times.It seems a bit complicated.  A simpler alternative:Multiple CreaturesIf the throng the only target of a melee or ranged attack which is capable of targeting  multiple creatures, the throng takes full damage (rather than half damage) from the attack.That doesn't allow cleave to work and is mathematically inferior to attacking multiple times, but it may be faster/easier in play.Edit:  Here's another way to phase it:Multiple CreaturesThe throng counts as multiple separate creatures for the purpose of attacks that target or affect multiple separate creatures.  Such an attack can target or affect the throng up to one time per constituent creature.That captures the spirit of the original intent in a way that isn't overly wordy. -- 77IM</blockquote>
