New mass combat rules (and they're the bomb)!

Thought I might make an exclusive monster this morning (two actually). Here are pigfolk. What are they? Well, they're pig people. And they have clubs. And they hit you with those clubs.

'Heart of the Iron God' Part 3 - 13th-Level Adventure

Already more than half one done with the Heart of the Iron God conversion. It's been a ton of fun and a great learning experience for myself. 

Tomorrow, I should wrap it up, and probably crank out the monsters and unique magic items, too, while I'm at it.

See you then!
