Minions are alien visitors from another kind of game

All these problems go away when you stop thinking so hard about... cats.

It is unlawful to use Hongisms on Hong!!

But if the cat is equipment, then it can be used as an improvised weapon....

You say that like it's a negative thing

Hence the phrase

DM: The cunning goblin disarms you of your weapon sending it skittering across the floor

Player: I pick up my cat and swing it at the enemy

DM: er what you can't do that

Player: yes I can you said it had no stats and was like a piece of equipment

DM: well there isn't enough room to swing a cat in here......

Goblin Slave = Sneaking up behind Orc and slitting its throat.

So, Saruman was a minion?

 

[Storm-Bringer]

Precisely. If you have a 4 square wide hallway/room, you need 4 creatures to completely block it. They can even somewhat stop people from walking past them in a 8-10 square wide hallway/room because people have to provoke OAs from moving past them. Most people won't.

One enemy in either of those situations can't stand in any place that will allow him to prevent the movement of the PCs past him.

Neither can the four, if the PCs move diagonally.

Turns out Hit Points don't adequately describe reality or literature! WHO KNEW????

Diagonally through a solid wall.

I think I have been making that argument for a while.

Sure. Use a cone of cold on it, freeze it solid, and swing away.
If you've ever seen what a frozen turkey can do in terms of damaging someone, you know a frozen cat would at least be equal to a club.
