A Minor has no attribute mechanics: the scores describe the creature, they do not roll.
Passives
Antimagic Scars
Advantage on saves against spells. A caster within 10 ft must make a Mind save (DC 15) when casting or the spell fizzles against the sigscourge's rune-scarred hide.
Maneuvers
Runebreaker Strike
When the sigscourge hits with its glowing greataxe, one magical effect on the target ends.
Reactions
Wrathful Charge
When a creature within 30 ft casts a spell, the sigscourge moves up to its speed straight toward the caster.
Tactics

Bred to destroy magic-users. Charges spellcasters. Disrupts magical defenses before other giants attack.
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.
