[QUOTE="Fanaelialae, post: 4212898, member: 53980"] Would it be any more agreeable to some if minion was a template that dropped a creature's XP Value to 1/4, it's hp to 1, and granted it the 4e equivalent of evasion? Not being sarcastic or any such thing, just offering up an alternative way of looking at it. Personally, I think that minions will always have 1 hp (and pseudo-evasion). It allows the DM to throw vast hordes of enemies at the players without having to worry about having to track all those hps. My DM recently ran a heavily houseruled 3.5 campaign (zombies) that was designed for exactly that (pitting us against large hordes of zombies, that is), and he had a nightmare of a time tracking their hps. I think our largest fight had around 120 zombies on the table at once. Considering that he's 10 times the DM that I'll ever be, I doubt I'd be able to use the minion rules to their full potential if they weren't as written. Tracking the individual hps and location of each and every zombie in a horde like that... he despised our sorcerer by the time the campaign ended. [/QUOTE]
