They count as 1/4 of a equal level challenger. I think the thing that sets minions apart from plain underleveled enemies is the strength of their powers. A 8th level minion might have access to 8th level powers, attacks, and defenses where a 3rd level normal would be stuck at 3rd. An 8th level minion would still die from the damage of 1 attack from a 3rd level ranger but the minion's defenses would include immunities and invisibility and other junk a 3rd level guy can't handle. Plus the minion would come at mass with 8th level attacks and destroy the ranger.So when a greater werewolf turn half the village into drooling hairy lunatic then sics them on the party, the werefolk villagers are minions and die in 1 hit. But good luck hitting their jacked up 6th level AC, Fort and Reflex; damaging them pass the resistances, and avoiding their claws unless you are higher than level 5.Minions are the equuvalent to 3rd Level adjusted and templated creatures probably. Creatures with a powerful ability or 2 but too defensively weak for their level.</blockquote>
