[QUOTE="Korgoth, post: 4267411, member: 49613"] KD, I do plan to narrate some misses on Minions as inconsequential wounds. Fair enough. From my perspective we're at the "a feature not a bug" point. I wouldn't want my players to waste a precious Daily on a Minion. From what I've heard from KoTS AARs and from what I can see of the dreaded Needlefang Drake Swarm I'm not going to have any trouble killing off whole parties with 'fair' encounters. I think PCs will need all the help they can get in 4E! But you could give an in-game explanation, too. Those stunts that people pull (Dailies) are heroic moves and taxing magical efforts... they wouldn't go to such lengths (in character) if they didn't have to. They're pushing themselves to the limit at that point, which is not something they have to do with a run-of-the-mill punk. Plus, while I wouldn't tell players definitively who is or is not a Minion, I don't mind if they figure it out. After all, perhaps they sensed that the guy might be competent but lacking that heroic elan that they possess and have faced before. Maybe you can kind of figure out who is not going to have a saga named after him. [/QUOTE]
