Gimmak_Sawtooth 01-09-08, 12:06 AM	currently in my campaign im playing a Wizard necromancer with a large contingent of ghouls that act as his honnor gaurd/shock troopers/servants but they have been mostly inactive in our fights and their concidered dm controled when i send them on missions. Now my problem is this is there a way to bring them into fights without rolling them a billion times? are there easy mass fight rules? Thanks.

When my group has any large number of cannon fodder types involved in such combats we usually only roll once for all the 1st level Orc Barbarians, once for the 2nd level Orc Clerics, and so on. Alternatively you should check out Heroes of Battle, if you haven't already.
