Odysseus could kill three men with a single arrow. Django mowed down a village full of bandits, and Tequila Yuen killed hundreds of people without a scratch. This is what 4th edition combat strives to emulate.If you want to see exactly how a D&D encounter with minions should work, pop in Kill Bill Volume 1 and skip to the Showdown at the House of Blue Leaves. Is it appropriate for Beatrix Kiddo to kill or incapacitate eighty-eight well armed, trained assassins, all deadly in their own right, sometimes more than one in a single sword slash, but still have so much trouble dispatching Johnny Mo, GoGo Yubari, and O-Ren Ishii?In a lot of ways, Beatrix Kiddo is the prime example of a 4th Edition D&D hero. She even has a magic sword.And in role-playing terms, minions aren't weaker. Minions are the norm. Anyone with more than 1 HP is exceptional, possibly supernaturally so.</blockquote>
