[QUOTE="icarusfallz, post: 4386204, member: 55315"] Ultimately, minions are what they are. Cannon fodder. If you want tougher minions, have a Leader type hit them with some Temporary HP. Guess what, they will probably STILL fall in one hit. The WHOLE point is to have lots of fun stuff to kill without a lot of bookkeeping. Kobold nests SWARM with generic little creeps, out of which crawl just a few Wyrmpriests and Dragonshields. Remember when they just had half a hit die? I do, and this is just the same thing. It's all just flavor. Remember that the guides are just that, guides. They are toolboxes that we can use to build things. Just because it is LEGAL to burn your flag doesn't mean that I am suggesting that you DO so. (Ref. Bill Hicks... look it up, you'll be very happy or very offended. God I loved that man.) So can we put this one to bed now, and get on to discussing something interesting? Like say.... Dragonboobs? Note, this post is meant in good humor. I love ya all, even those of you who annoy the HELL out of me, because you make me a better gamewr in general and a better DM in specific. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
