It's, basically, flip a coin for each casualty after the fight to see if they were killed or just wounded. I'd kind of like to see a simple rule like that introduced for minions.I've played in several D&D games where allied crewmen or town guards were dropped, and we actually kept track of their negative hit points and rolled their stabilization rolls every turn, because these NPCs were a valuable resource we wanted to hold onto. Needless to say, it slows down combat when you are doing 5 or 10 stabilization rolls every turn and marking people further down the track to -10 hp. It would have been preferable to have an easy way to check for survivors which took place during the wrapup of the encounter.</blockquote>
