From the Orc previewCadfan said:Yes. They all just die.
Also, if the PCs meet a level 29 minion and kill it by shooting it with an area of effect attack that does half damage on a miss, they all get a free level. This is why wizards are so much more powerful than everyone else, even in 4e. They kill legion devil minions for sport until they get to level 20 or so. It takes about an hour, or slightly longer if you invite one of your lower level friends to hide behind a pillar nearby and absorb experience points.

"HP 1; a missed attack never damages a minion."
Moniker said:I believe the intention is that Minions ALWAYS die whenever they're damaged. That statement doesn't take into account some missed Daily attacks still render damage, and appears to be an oversight.
That is EXACTLY what that statement is taking into account. A missed daily that still deals damage does not kill the minion.Moniker said:I believe the intention is that Minions ALWAYS die whenever they're damaged.
