A Minor has no attribute mechanics: the scores describe the creature, they do not roll.
Passives
Lucky
Once per encounter, the leprechaun forces a reroll of any one roll made against it.
Maneuvers
Vanish
The leprechaun turns invisible. It reappears when it attacks or is struck.
Gold Illusion
A glittering pot of gold appears within 60 ft. Each creature that sees it makes a Mind save (DC 13) or spends its next movement heading toward it.
Reactions
Rainbow Escape
When hit, the leprechaun streaks away as a rainbow, teleporting up to 60 ft. Creatures within 5 ft of its path make a Sense save (DC 13) or are blinded for 1 round.
Tactics
GM tactics
Never fights fair. Uses Gold Illusion to draw the greediest away from the fight, then Vanishes and strikes from nowhere. Streaks off with Rainbow Escape if touched. Will bargain riddles for freedom if captured.
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.
