A Minor has no attribute mechanics: the scores describe the creature, they do not roll.
Passives
Invisibility
Can turn invisible as a maneuver. Ends when attacking.
Heart Sight
Touch a creature to magically sense its emotional state and alignment.
Flyby
Does not provoke reactions when flying out of reach.
Maneuvers
Shortbow (tiny)
Ranged attack, 40 ft. On a hit the target makes a Body save (DC 11) or is poisoned for 1 minute; on a failure by 5 or more it is also stunned 1 round as the venom drags it toward sleep.
Tactics
GM tactics
Scouts invisibly using Heart Sight to identify evil creatures. Fires poisoned arrows from hiding. Retreats immediately if detected. Works in groups to overwhelm single targets with poison arrows.

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.
