Minions and temp hp

[JMnITup]

Can minions benefit from temp hp? I seem to remember seeing somewhere that if a minion takes any damage, they die, but I can't find that, and I don't know if that was a hard rule, or just a factor of them only having 1hp.

So, can a minion get 1hp and 5 temp hp, essentially giving them 6 total? Or will they still die with any damage at all?

They can indeed gain temporary HP. But they'll still almost always die in one hit anyway. I know my Cleric can't do less than 6 damage on a hit (and a miss never hurts minions anyway).

One of the reasons Minions were given 1 HP instead of the "any hit kills" rule was so that, yes, they can benefit from Temporary HP.

So in your example, if a Minion is given 5 Temp HP and suffers an attack that deals less than 6 damage, it is indeed still standing.
