+1 defense vs unmounted opponents, works for my troop. For charge attacks, permit a bonus die on damage rolls. Just limit the charging, at best it can just be done at the scene start as an opening attack. Simple is better  (wink)

What I had been doing was putting minions into groups of 3 to 5 and making one attack roll with a bonus die for the whole group. Hits would do damage as a single attacker +1. Simon has , in the new system , applied a +1 bonus per attacker in the group . This would cap out at 3 or 4 since after that the group would actually be in its own way. The mythic edition damage is different but for older systems perhaps a bonus damage die would suffice

Its a house rule influenced from combat modifiers found in H&I, such as holding the top of the stairs or standing on a table in a swashbuckling sword fight.

It stands for Honor & Intrigue, a version of BOL geared twords swashbuckling adventures. Its put out by Basic Action Games.

(happy)

Its a good read, although I personally have grown to dislike it in play. Hero's get a lot of actions per round and it can get a bit silly after prolonged play.
