Squad: Animated Objects

Animate objects is a popular spell that has the power to not only slaughter foes but slow down combat. This is because the optimal casting is to animate 10 (or more) tiny objects, each of which becomes a separate creature. This explains why players tend to find swarm-based solutions dissatisfying, since a swarm of tiny animated objects is effectively just having a suboptimal larger animated object.

This guide aims at solving this problem by presenting a squad system for running animated objects. It also addresses some common questions about the spell.

These rules emphasize speed and simplicity while endeavoring to remain as close to rules-as-written as possible.
