A Minor has no attribute mechanics: the scores describe the creature, they do not roll.
Passives
Land Shark
Burrows 40 ft through earth and senses vibrations through the ground within 60 ft.
Armored Plates
Resistant to damage from nonmagical weapons. Its soft underbelly, exposed mid-leap, grants no such protection.
Maneuvers
Deadly Leap
Springs up to 30 ft and crashes down. Creatures in the landing zone make a Body save (DC 15) or take 3 damage and are knocked prone; on a success, 1 Vigor damage.
Burrow Strike
Erupts from the ground beneath a target and attacks with advantage.
Tactics
GM tactics
Senses vibrations from underground. Bursts up to attack, then burrows to escape retaliation. Leaps onto groups. Prefers halflings as prey.
Running it
Rules
- Vigor equal to Tier, with an overflow of the same size behind it: 3, then 3 more. Neither half regenerates.
- A hit deals a flat 3, no roll. A crit (natural 20 only) rolls d8 and never lands below 3.
- 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 6 kills it outright, and a single blow of 6 or more kills it on the spot.
- Vigor damage is simply damage against a Minor: its whole pool is Vigor.
- Two attacks in a normal turn: Tier 3+ Minors get a second.
- Group morale: when its group loses half its number, fled or dead, the rest check morale.
- NPCs never take wounds.
