RPG Mechanics V

On the back of the calculations for the 4^th and 8^thlevel fighters facing multiple low level opponents, it occurred to me that I could use that data to calculate the fighting effectiveness of small groups. So …

	Improvement
Base	+1	+2	+3	+4
-3	4	9	18	32
-2	3	6	10	16
-1	2	4	7	10
0	2	3	5	X
1	2	3	X	X
2	2	X	X	X

If you have some opponents each fighting at a base offset of -3 then a group of 4 of them could band together for an offset of -2 or 9 for an offset of -1.

Each group then wins or loses on the basis of a single dice roll. I think I would be unhappy with the larger groups being killed is a single combat round but if you make it so that a limited number are killed and the rest run away then it seems reasonable.
