A Minor has no attribute mechanics: the scores describe the creature, they do not roll.
Passives
Winterborn
Resistant to cold damage. Advantage on saves against charm and immune to magical sleep.
Maneuvers
Chilling Gaze
One creature within 30 ft makes a Body save (DC 13) or is slowed for 1 round as frost crawls up its legs.
Winter's Curse
One creature within 60 ft makes a Fate save (DC 13); on a failure it is cursed, taking 1 Vigor damage at the start of each of its turns (save ends), on a success it takes 1 Vigor damage. Warmth from an open flame ends the curse at once.
Tactics
GM tactics
Slows the fastest attacker with Chilling Gaze, then curses the strongest foe and lets the frost do the work. Fights with cruel elegance, toying with frozen victims before the killing blow. Keeps well clear of open flame, which ends its curses at a touch.
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.
