[QUOTE="wally, post: 4456452, member: 3578"] Actually, it was in response to someone else's example of how to view the minion rules in game context. I don't think it has anything to do with bored players. If taken as written, you can attack with anything that can cause damage, and the minion will drop. This doesn't specify that the character needs to use their favored or not so favored weapon. In fact from what I have seen, and what everyone is saying, it doesn't specify whether you have to use a weapon at all. It is up to the DM, as you make it sound, on whether he wants to use the rules as written, but it didn't sound as if this thread was about what DMs should do, but whether the minion rules were good or not. Which leads to a different discussion. Whether the DM has the authority to make changes to the minion rules or not. :) Okay, that isn't a path that this thread should go down, as there are many other arguments about DM authority elsewhere on this board. -wally [/QUOTE]
