✦ Overview ✦

A means of combing npcs into a squad, they gain a number of buffs and simplifications to create a powerful fighting force but also to make combat not take forever. This turns the combined NPCs into one "entity" that moves together though can fan out over a 5 block radius for the sake of angles. ( Note: A squad must consist of at least 3 NPCs )

✦ General Benefits ✦

Moving as a squad, npcs can gain a good number of benefits, starting with...

    Action Economy - The Squad has 2 Major Actions, 1 Mvmnt Action & 2 Bonus Actions per turn.

    Turn Economy - If the combined Tier total of the npcs is greater than 5 the squad gains 2 turns per round.
To decide the turns, the first goes based on Priority and the second a rolled 1d10.

    Flanking - Any enemy within 10 blocks of the squad's "Radius" is counted as flanked by other members of the squad.

✦ Combined Stats ✦

A squad finds many of it's stat totals combining to a greater whole. The following are those combined stats for the squad.

    HP - The HP total of all NPCs in the squad is combined

    AP - The HP total of all NPCs in the squad is combined

    Limited Uses - Any action with per entity limited use (Like Tank) can be used freely equal to the number of npcs.

✦ Non-Combined Stats ✦

A squad has some stats that don't combine quite the same as the above...

    Mvmnt - The squad moves at the combined average of all npcs mvmnt speeds.

    AP - The HP total of all NPCs in the squad is combined

    Limited Uses - Any action with per entity limited use (Like Tank) can be used freely equal to the number of npcs.

✦ Equipment Use ✦

A squad finds themselves able to make use of a vast amount of gear amongst it's members

    Weapon Use - The squad can attack with any weapon from the group (Though not the same one multiple times per turn)

    Armor Use - The squad can use any armor of the npcs as if it was one entity under attack within normal rulings.

    Misc. Gear Use - The combined squad can draw a non weapon/armor asa free action once per round.

    Reloading - The combined squad gains 1 free reload action once per round.
