A Troop of Guardsmen?

hello,

Any chance someone could lend a hand in helping me build a "troop" of guardsmen? Like say a group of 5 guards? And using this guard stat block.

Thanks!

Are you trying to make them a troop like in Reign of Winter, where infantry units were swarms?

The recommendation for that (I did it with the crews in Skulls and Shackles, so the party could "level up" their crew by buying better equipment, etc.) is to take the table from the bestiary that lists approximate hitpoints, saves, damage, bab, etc. for a creature of the given CR. Then tweak the fluff around the result to match the creature you're making the swarm out of. In other words, build top down, not bottom up.

Yep, I'm definitely looking for things like swarms. And I was hoping someone had already constructed such or had an easy way to do it.

Try this thing ;)
