I’ve been DMing a small group of new players. They’ve been literally “hit or miss” with combat. I know at least one is getting frustrated with combat because he can’t roll to save his life. I’m planning on throwing a swarm of small creatures at them next session. goblins, spiders, whatever. just small easily killed, easily hit creatures. Thing is I don’t want to do ‘initiative’ per se as I’m considering having a ton of these things. Anyone have any pointers?

    Here’s a link to one of the basic swarms from the 5e SRD:

    Swarm of Zombies

    It doesn’t have all the features I talked about but it does follow the same concept. It’s an abstraction of how a crowd might behave.
