@mikemearlsCouple people asked – in mass combat, a solo attacks a stand using a normal attack. Rules assume solo is making lots of attacks. Attached Solos as well? Take 10 turns (spells, attacks, skill checks) during the 1 minute their Unit performs a Battle Action?

@seanbonney the system abstracts that into one effective turn — Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) March 3, 2015

@jay_jaydraperI’m probably being stupid here, but just to clarify, a stand has the same hp as one of its component creatures? correct

@Evan_Moffatthow do stands and solos interact? Should a solo seem just as powerful as 10 comparable CR creatures? Yes – the idea is that a solo is a notable figure who has a big effect on the battle – Aragorn or Legolas in the LOTR movies.

“@BakerBenjamaruhey chris was wondering how you get into the table top game design biz if you can give some advice please do 🙂 how do you get into the tabletop game design biz? :)” Use conventions to meet industry folks. Hear what they have to say.

@Shadowcraft1Now that the core books are out, how soon might we expect the rules for the often misunderstood psion? We have no psionics announcement yet. In the meantime, you could emulate a psion with a warlock who serves the Great Old One.

Think of Legolas, Gimli, or Aragorn slicing through orcs in the big battle scenes in the LotR films.

@GX_Sigmawhat about stands attacking solos? 100 attacks per round? check out the rules for isolation – that covers the drawbacks for fighting on your own or while isolated from allies.

@DanLovatClark I like it, seems to be a good balance of “stand” vs. “solo” characters. One question: is 1 square away different from adjacent? nope
— Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) March 2, 2015

@DanLovatClarkSo skirmishers and regiments both have the same restriction for unit integrity? 0 replies 0 retweets 0 favorites blargh – nope, my original answer is dumb. 1 square away means 1 square between. brain blue screened. — Mike Mearls (@mikemearls) March 2, 2015
