[QUOTE="fanboy2000, post: 4865108, member: 19998"] Do you think I supplied a RAW answer in my previous post? FWIW, NPCs (or DM PCs) can kill minions just like any PC can. If one NPC is fighting another NPC, all the typical 4e combat rules apply. If an NPC is there, but not fighting, they will often have no stats (pre 4e DMG I) and thus not kill any minions (or anyone else, for that matter). I don't have the book accessible, but the guidelines for creating NPCs in 4e can be found in the DM's Toolbox chapter, after the sections containing encounter and monster templates. One of the first things said on the subject of creating NPCs is that they typically don't need much in the way of stats, almost certainly don't need the fleshing-out PCs need except in rare circumstances. I don't see that as creating any weirdness. I also see it as consistent with MrMyth's statements on the subject: [/QUOTE]
