As a DM, I can understand how they're used as abstractions for bookeeping purposes. They have 1HP to make life simpler. One hit and they die. I can understand this.What I don't quite understand is how the rest of the world interacts with a minion. With 1HP, how would a minion realistically survive in the real world, outside of combat? In fact, do they exist at all?I've written on a post on En World about how a high level demonic minion attacks the PC's at their home. Let's say one of the PC's likes house cats, and a bunch of these house cats (or other small pets) attack the minions. At some point, an epic level minion might actually be killed by one of these house cats (if it can roll a natural 20). Or less silly, how about a bar fight and the barmaid with a tankard?Another example I used was hazardous terrain, like thorny bushes. Let's say there is some type of terrain that does automatic damage when you pass through it. Minions can't pass through this terrain, while a child or villager might make it through with just a few scratches.How are minions supposed to survive these types of situations?--------------------------Customer ServiceUnfortunately, there isn’t an official answer for the situation you describe. I’ve passed along this conversation to the game’s developers. Hopefully, we’ll see an  update  or  FAQ entry covering it soon, but until then it’s up to the campaign’s Dungeon Master to decide. The DM is always the final arbiter on how they want their campaign to run. Have fun!----------------------------So with any luck they'll respond in a FAQ or something.<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
