Hello all. So I have a quick question about occupying 5ft squares and creature placement. So I understand that the rules state only one creature can occupy a 5ft square at a time unless one creature is either helpless or actively grappled. But I get the sense this implies at a comfortable standing level which allows both movement or action.
However say there is a small room and you have a great many mindless undead that are forcibly packed in together and all are standing shoulder to shoulder to a room's physical occupancy limit. There is no sitting room, no movement room, and debatably no action room. Since they are undead things like comfort, oxygen, etc are not factors, the only objective is maximum occupancy.
Are there official or homebrew rules for this that make sense? This is not related to squeezing figurines onto a board, it is only for a narrative game, but one that still follows the logic of a 5ft grid map. Would it still be only one creature per 5ft? Can you sensibly reason more than one creature sharing a space and if so how and how many? Just looking for thoughts here. Thank you.
