As Garthanos points out, they can be used as tools in a Narrative episode. They could also be considered Simulationist tools (i.e. we're simulating the S&S or wire-fu genre, where heroes cleave through roomsful of enemies). But minions also have plenty of gamist elements. A 20th level minion with huge attack and damage numbers but only a single hit point is definitely a Gamist construct. The rules are prioritizing the creation of an opponent who represents a certain type of challenge. The rule that minions take no damage on a miss is also (IMO) a Gamist consideration.</p></blockquote><p></p>
