[QUOTE="Skyscraper, post: 4362068, member: 48518"] It is obviously something that can be used (and apparently was intended to be used). Just not my cup of tea. Once you accept that minions can have hit points over 1, you can of course have powers that take advantage of this. Good point, but i think that the temporay HPs to the minions is a different mechanic: it changes how minions work. It doesn't just make them more survivable which in itself doesn't change the mechanic, it forces the DM to track hit points for his hordes of minions. There is the breaking point as far as i'm concerned. Whereas cleave uses the same damage mechanic as any other power: it simply damages opponents, though i agree that it is much more effective against minions. Oh, avoid historical citations, will you! Else, next thing you know we'll be flining some Sun Tzu "Art of War" at each other! :) Sky [/QUOTE]
