[QUOTE="Celtavian, post: 4462210, member: 5834"] Does it really matter? We don't tell anyone who the minions are. The player figures it out on their own by how quickly the monster dies. Our wizard usually hits a group with at least one AoE attack or more. Minions are usually cleared out in a round or two having done nothing to impede the party. We've started giving minions more hit points so they last a little longer and possibly are more useful to their allies. Almost any Aoe Kills minions quickly. It just doesn't matter if you tell the party who the minions are. Not even sure why this is being brought up. As I've stated in other threads, past 3rd level the wizard can drop AoE right on top of the fighter or other party members eliminating minions if they close with the the party. And if they haven't closed with the party, the wizard just drops AoE from behind. Minions are worthless little baloons easily popped and providing little to no challenge. [/QUOTE]
