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?

I thought you were asking about how you would play a player who was a swarm. Like the ant guy on Rick & Morty. That would be interesting.

Now i'm just imagining a wizard casting enlarge/reduce on themselves to shrink and attacking with an army of ants.

Screw it, time to make a Druid with said ability that loves ants.
