They require less bookkeeping than normal monsters, but unlike minions, they have more than one hit point and are not immune to damage on a miss. A demi monster may be modified from a minion or from a regular monster. One demi monster is equal to two minions or half a regular monster. To make a demi monster from a minion:1. Change hit points to (1 + level) x 4 + half Constitution score.2. Remove the note that a missed attack never damages the monster.3. Double the XP award for the monster.Examples (adapted from the Orc preview):Orc Clubber (from Orc Drudge) Level 4 Demi Minion (XP 88) Medium Natural Humanoid Initiative +0 Senses Perception +0; low-light vision HP 27; Bloodied 13 AC 16, Fortitude 15, Reflex 12, Will 12 Speed 6 (8 while charging) <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/bm.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":bmelee:" title="Basic Melee    :bmelee:" data-shortname=":bmelee:" /> Club (standard, at-will) * Weapon +9 vs. AC; 5 damage Alignment Chaotic evil Languages Common, Giant Str 16 (+3) Dex 10 (+0) Wis 10 (+0) Con 14 (+2) Int 8 (-1) Cha 9 (-1) Equipment hide armor, club Orc Chopper (from Orc Warrior) Level 9 Demi Minion (XP 200) Medium Natural Humanoid Initiative +3 Senses Perception +3; low-light vision HP 47; Bloodied 23 AC 21, Fortitude 19, Reflex 16, Will 16 Speed 6 (8 while charging) <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/bm.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":bmelee:" title="Basic Melee    :bmelee:" data-shortname=":bmelee:" /> Battleaxe (standard, at-will) * Weapon +14 vs. AC; 6 damage Alignment Chaotic evil Languages Common, Giant Str 17 (+6) Dex 11 (+3) Wis 10 (+3) Con 15 (+5) Int 8 (+2) Cha 9 (+2) Equipment leather armor, light shield, battleaxeTo make a demi monster from a standard monster:1.
