A Minor has no attribute mechanics: the scores describe the creature, they do not roll.

Paralyzing Sting
When its sting hits, the target makes a Body save or takes 1 damage from the venom. A creature dropped by the venom is left alive but paralyzed for 1 hour, to be dragged to the nest for the larvae.
Tactics
GM tactics
Attacks anything near nest. Stings to paralyze, then drags paralyzed prey to nest for larvae to consume.

Rules
- Vigor equal to Tier, with an overflow of the same size behind it: 1, then 1 more. Neither half regenerates.
- A hit deals a flat 1, no roll. A crit (natural 20 only) rolls d4 and never lands below 1.
- 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 2 kills it outright, and a single blow of 2 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.
