A Minor has no attribute mechanics: the scores describe the creature, they do not roll.
Passives
Forge-Born
Immune to fire damage. Sheds bright light in 10 ft and does not eat, sleep, or breathe.
Heated Body
A creature that hits the azer with a melee attack within 5 ft takes 1 Vigor damage.
Maneuvers
Forge Strike
Grips a foe's armor or blade and heats the metal white-hot. One creature in reach makes a Body save (DC 13) or takes 2 damage; on a success, 1 Vigor damage.
Tactics
GM tactics
Fights in disciplined formations alongside other azer. Uses Forge Strike on armored targets to heat their armor. Retreats to volcanic terrain where its fire immunity gives advantage.
Running it
Rules
- Vigor equal to Tier, with an overflow of the same size behind it: 2, then 2 more. Neither half regenerates.
- A hit deals a flat 2, no roll. A crit (natural 20 only) rolls d6 and never lands below 2.
- Crits on a natural 20 only.
- Minor: no stat modifiers or dice in play; its scores describe the creature, they do not roll.
- At 0 Vigor it breaks and flees, out of the fight but alive; Fanatics fight on into the overflow instead.
- Total damage reaching 4 kills it outright, and a single blow of 4 or more kills it on the spot.
- Vigor damage is simply damage against a Minor: its whole pool is Vigor.
- Group morale: when its group loses half its number, fled or dead, the rest check morale.
- NPCs never take wounds.
