[QUOTE="noretoc, post: 4285506, member: 1276"] So all the minions in the world have delusions of grandeur? They think they are bad (As in kick butt bad) when all they are is bad (as in cant fight bad). ALL of them? What makes a minion a minion then. If they think they are strong enough to kill the pc, then why are they taking crap from the non-minon bad guy? What did he do to get to have full hp, that they didn't. Is it just because they have the red shirt on? I know that that is the way the game works, but that is one of my problems with the game. There is too much that is done for mechanics sake. I could probably justify anything if I really had to, or find a reason for it but I don't want to play a game where I have to. The characters that my players play should be thinking... "Why are these guys so easy to kill? Why do they keep coming and dying" Luckily I have players that will have thier characters wonder things like that, because that is how we role-play. We try to put ourselves and our characters places and look for things that don't make sense. Then figure out why in game. It makes great stories. (I love my players). I can see the order of the stick strip now. Kobold Elite: Attack Kobold Minion: Attack? That guy just killed like twenty of us Kobold Elite: That is ok, you were made to attack "in droves and go down fast" Kobold Minion: Go down fast? What do you mean??? I was born in the same clutch you were. We have the same mom. Kobold Elite: But I am an elite, I will not die so easy. Kobold Minion: How did you get to be Elite. Why you. I always knew mom liked you best. Kobold Elite: Attack! Kobold Minion: F%^& you, you attack, I'm getting out of here. Kobold Elite: But you are my Shock troopers Kobold Minion: The only thing I'm shocked at is that my other 20 brother were dumb enough to run up there after the first ten got killed. I'm outta here, I'm gonna go open up a shop somewhere, store keepers may not have HP, but the PC cant attack them either. [/QUOTE]
