Message: <blockquote data-quote="James McMurray" data-source="post: 4475625" data-attributes="member: 743">Our (as yet untested)  house rule is:•    Minions do not always die from a single hit. It takes one hit per tier to kill a minion, or one critical hit (no matter what tier they are). Attacks which deal damage on a miss will still count as a hit when they miss, and as two hits when they score a hit. Also, additional damage sources, such as sneak attack and warlock's curse, count as a separate damage source. Examples:The fighter hits a minion three times, cleaving into the minion next to it each time: both die.The fighter crits a minion with cleave: it dies, the other one he damages is one step closer to death.The warlock hits a minion with Eldritch Blast and triggers Warlock's Curse: the minion has taken two hits and is now one from death.The wizard fireballs a bunch of minions: Since it does damage on a miss, it'll count as a hit no matter what. Any minions hit by the attack will take two wounds. Any crits rolled will destroy that minion.The cleric traps some minions inside a Fire Storm: they die at the start of their second turn (one hit when it lands, plus one hit every time they start their turn in it).The artificer hits a minion with Burrowing Projectile: it's almost guaranteed to die because the initial damage plus one round of ongoing and another round of ongoing from the aftereffect would count as three hits.The artificer misses a minion with a natural one for Runic Resistance: No change in it's status. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />To avoid the massive amounts of condition tracking this could add, any status effects caused by an attack will instead count as a hit. For example, Crushing Titan’s Fist deals damage and immobilizes those hit. Minions in the area would take two hits but not be immobilized.</blockquote>
