It seems to me that a "realistic" character that can take on a mass of NPCs
will probably use a bunch of underlings to do so. But in game terms,
fighting out a many-on-many battle takes a lot of time. I think decent
mass-combat rules are the solution to this problem, but I don't know of any
RPG that has really successfully integrated such rules into its combat
system.
