Mass Combat: An Idea

[computerking]

Just a caveat I thought of, but if using the mook rules doesn't feel "Dresden-y" enough(Because Harry doesn't usually end up fighting groups of much lesser characters), try turning the idea on its head: Have the Mooks fight against a BBM(Big Bad Monster), basically getting their asses handed to them, and have the PC's try to save as many as they can.

Got the idea reminiscing about the "Loup-Garou vs Chicago PD" fight. Fighting against something big while trying to protect the innocent is right up the Dresdenverse alley.

[Sanctaphrax]

Here he is. Huge, strong, tough good at grappling, slow.

Also easy to hit. Enough bullets will bring him down. If you don't like that, give him a stunt letting him defend with Endurance.

I made most of this up whole cloth, I don't remember much from the movie.

[The Mighty Buzzard]

Here he is. Huge, strong, tough good at grappling, slow.

Thresholds also apparently aren't much of an issue since he stomped a church.

[Sanctaphrax]

Not sure how to model that.

Suggestions?

Well he's not pure spirit. That was the whole point of making the guys choose a form for him. Also, he's really Gozer, who we can pretty much go with being an Outsider in the Dresden Files universe. So... Out of the four ways a threshold can operate if you let him treat it as a block or a target... Well, umpteen tons of animate marshmallow are hard to argue with. Smush.
