A Minor has no attribute mechanics: the scores describe the creature, they do not roll.
Passives
Amphibious
Breathes air and water. Standing leap of 20 ft.
Maneuvers
Grabbing Bite
When its bite hits a Medium or smaller creature, the target is grabbed and restrained.
Swallow
Gulps down a creature it has grabbed. A swallowed creature is blinded and restrained and takes 1 Vigor damage at the start of each of its turns from stomach acid. Killing the toad frees it.
Tactics
GM tactics
Lurks partially submerged. Leaps to bite and swallow prey whole. Will attempt to swallow humanoids.
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.
