I don't like boring ones that die with no threat at all and leave behind free experience points. If I want that I'll populate the enemy forces with peasants.I'd be curious to hear your party makeup in that epic game. In our game anything that dies to auto damage takes a minor action fighter stance to ensure it dies. If they're spread out then it may also take a standard action Come and Get It to draw them in. It would be even worse if the warlock's player hadn't felt that a reaping rod in his off hand to kill two minions a round was too cheesy.Granted I've only used minions twice because of how boring they were. Perhaps you could shed some light on a way to use them that's fun and doesn't require a house rule or hand out near free experience to anyone willing to spend a minor action on them.</blockquote>
