[QUOTE="AZRogue, post: 4219217, member: 3963"] Let me make a serious post to atone for my earlier attempt at humor: I think this whole argument concerning minions boils down to how certain people look at the rules. Some people look at the rules and are only concerned with the game that will result from them. Others look for the rules to have a certain structure all their own and are put off by that structure being manipulated. Here's a quote from Mearls to illustrate: 4E is making a conscious effort to be very good at the table and isn't concerned about the structure of the rules used to get there. Whether this approach appeals or not, I leave to you. I think some people who look at a game's structure before looking at how a game plays will prefer to stay with 3E or Pathfinder. I'm not sure there's a possible reconciliation other than the gameplay being so fun that they are able to look past their dislike for how the rules are structured. [/QUOTE]
