The Orc Minion is given 1 HP purely for narrative and bookkeeping reasons; the Orc does not actually have 1 HP total. The DM rules that -in the context of the upcoming fight- that particular Orc is greatly outclassed by his foes and will thus be considered a "Minion"; meaning that his HP will be considered to be 1 to reduce bookkeeping. So, because fate bows to DM fiat, that particular Orc will meet a most unpleasant end in the upcoming melee when he is skewered by his superior opponents. In a situation where that Orc is more powerful than what he is fighting, the DM would simply remove the "Minion" designation and restore his actual HP value.The thread concerning Orc Minions slapping one another to death is rediculous because the Orcs would not be designated "Minions" in a scenario where they were fighting each other; rather, the DM would simply give them HP appropriate to their level and then let them go at it.</blockquote>
