[QUOTE="77IM, post: 4413808, member: 12377"] If you post your chart, maybe we can reverse-engineer the formula. My first instinct is that it is based on the Damage By Level table. Lv1 Medium Normal Damage is 1d10+3. The average of that roll is 8.5, and half of that is 4. So maybe it's half the average damage of a monster of your level? That would make a little sense considering minions are equal to 1/4 of a monster. (They do 1/2 damage instead of 1/4 damage because the assumption is that they are going to die really fast and have less opportunity to deal damage than a normal monster.) The paragraph describing how to use the Damage By Level table fits in with your ideas of minions having "pseudo-roles" -- do the minions at higher levels have damage equal to 1/2 the average damage of one of the expressions on the Damage By Level chart? -- 77IM [/QUOTE]
