[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 6108892, member: 57383"] As you were. :p Rereading the original text, it says "If the master is slain, any surviving minions are gated back to the Nine Hells". If they can survive their master's death they must have some kind of independent existence. Their life-forces (or, rather, unlife-forces) must still be intricately entwined, since the death of a minion weakens the master and their combined undead-boosting aura. [list] I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "have been subjugated by its master" but I have a feeling I don't care for it. Are you saying that the Minions can only affect undead that the Master has previously used command (control) undead on? The original text says "Control of undead can be done by the master itself [COLOR=#ff0000]or any of its minions[/COLOR]", not that Minions can only boss around undead who have already been subjugated by the Master Bones. Furthermore, it says the Master "must remain in the area it was originally summoned to". So, if I'm reading you right, that'd mean the Minions would have to let an undead get close to the profane altar the Master was summoned to, wait for the Master to command it, then take over control. One of the reasons the Master even has Minions is so it can send them out to control undead outside the area the Master is restricted to.[/list] [/QUOTE]
