You don't think that a template monster designed to both be a leader and to have minion allies should not get full advantage of the normal THP rules if he has those types of powers? <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/laugh.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" />Now you are arguing just to argue. This is definitely a corner case for the number of times it will actually significantly matter in anyone's game, even if they do use a lot of templates (which I suspect is not the norm).If it happens a lot in your game and you want to neuter your Leader Templates, fine. Make a house rule. But, don't pretend that it really happens a lot and actually needs a house rule.The normal rule is fine because a Leader Template should be able to protect his minions. What good is a Leader that cannot protect his minions? What kind of challenge is that? <img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/laugh.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":lol:" title="Laughing    :lol:" data-shortname=":lol:" /></blockquote>
