[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 6551545, member: 1210"] No, all the minions got to attack when their turn came up. In one case, when there were like 24 attacks or something, I rolled 8 and multiplied the number of hits by 3. Usually, it was easy to say, "Okay, these six guys are attacking Kane," and roll all those dice at once. And for the first time, I REALLY came to appreciate the "no need to roll for damage" part of minion design! Most of the time, the pcs' minions didn't have much of an effect on the combat, but they had a few moments to shine- especially when the last surviving Double Javelin managed to peg Fray with a javelin! One thing that helped was that the flying attackers quickly outdistanced about 50 - 75 of the pcs' minions, who were outside of Dianthus' "give everyone a fly speed" ability. So I only needed to track their progress toward the fight and remember to deal with them when the corpse shook and did potential seismic damage/knock prone effects. [/QUOTE]
