I was thinking more along the lines of a normal man with thirty (or 300 for that matter) well-appointed troops.<br /><br />If we are saying that every baron is at least a Baron, then that makes a difference. <br /><br />But groups of bandits, brigands, etc. are not as powerful. Not even with a single Name level leader and a few lieutenants. <br /><br />I'll have to think about it. Thanks, Wayne.
