By the way, Sahariel, something I dug up from the recruitment thread that you might want to stick in the house rules thread:<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=126327.msg5671310#msg5671310">Quote from: Kunoichi on 04-01-2012, 03:24:45</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">Nope.  You can have a single minion that's 1 point of CR below yours on the scale, and then the amount of minions you can have doubles for the number you get below that.  So, for example, you could have 1 CR 26 minion, or 2 CR 25 minions, or 4 CR 24 minions, or 8 CR 23 minions, or 16 CR 22 minions, or 32 CR 21 minions, etc...<br/><br/>This is for determining the highest CR minion you have in your army, and how many of said minion you can have.<br/><br/>In Pale's army, her highest CR minions are all CR 23, and she could have a total of 8 of them, if she wanted.  However, she only took 3, and instead traded in the five other slots for a number of lower-CR minions.<br/><br/>Now, how many of these lower CR minions you have is determined differently.  You subtract the CR of the lower-CR minions from the CR of your highest-CR minions, and multiply the result by 5, and that's the number you can have.<br/><br/><br/><br/>To demonstrate, allow me to give you a practical example:  Let's say that you choose to command vast armies on the eternal battlefield of Avernus, the first layer of hell.  In order to help you command your vast armies, you choose the highest-level of standard devil, the Pit Fiend, to be your generals and run your army for you.<br/><br/>Pit Fiends are CR 20, which means you could have a total of 64 Pit Fiends if your force was composed of nothing but Pit Fiends.  That doesn't give you your legions of troops, however, so you instead trade in some of those 64 slots for lower-CR devils.  Just to give an example, let's say you select Legion Devils for your rank and file troops.<br/><br/>Pit Fiends are CR 20, and Legion Devils are CR 3.  20 - 3 = 17, and that, multiplied by 5, comes out to 85.  So, if you trade in one of your 64 minion slots, you'll have 63 Pit Fiends, and 85 Legion Devils.  Let's assume you traded in 10 slots, giving you 850 Legion Devils, and 54 Pit Fiends.<br/><br/>Similarly, let's assume that you spent other slots on some more of the common footsoldiers in Hell's armies.  Steel Devils are CR 6, and Orthons are CR 8.  20 - 6 = 14, multiplied by 5 comes out to 70, and 20 - 8 = 12, multiplied by 5 comes out to 60.<br/><br/>Spending 10 slots on each, your numbers now come out to 34 Pit Fiends, 600 Orthons, 700 Steel Devils, and 850 Legion Devils.<br/><br/>And so on, and so forth.  Understand it a little better, now?<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>Having the rules for character creation and minion selection located in one easy-to-find place should help out a lot, any time we wind up with new players. ^^;
