Love this work! On the Simple Skirmish system in Appendix B, would you allow a player character or high HD character to make multiple attacks by dividing their HD i.e a A level 4 Fighter makes 2 attacks as a level 2 Fighter?

Alternatively, given a high HD creature such as a Giant would normally have multiple attacks against a low level party of PCs (if not higher level), can they roll to hit multiple PCs? If so, have you ruled / would you rule to "divide" the damage roll amongst PCs that have been hit?

I'm sure much of this is purposefully left to the Referee, but I'm interested in your opinions if you have any!

thank you so much! yes, i’ve allowed players to split or combine attacks as they wish—the default in the LBBs is that characters have 1 attack per hit die (against regular figures), so the idea is just that you can choose to combine them instead though you are not forced to.

i probably would not allow monsters who already have multiple attacks or damage dice to keep them; instead, i would consider that to be encapsulated/replaced by the simple skirmish system which just looks at their hit dice.
