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

Passives

Passive

A battle-cleric who channels holy fire and sheltering prayer from the front line; allies within 20 ft gain +1 AC while the war priest still stands.

Maneuver

One ally within 30 ft regains 1 Vigor as sacred warmth knits its wounds. The prayer is loud; enemies always know who cast it.

Maneuver

One creature within 60 ft makes a Fate save (DC 15) or takes 3 damage as cold white flame drops from above; on a success, takes 1 Vigor damage.

Reaction

When an ally within 30 ft is attacked, the priest traces a sign and that ally gains +2 AC until the end of its next turn.

GM tactics

Supports allies with the laying on of hands and shelters the front line with prayer. Targets enemy spellcasters with Holy Fire.

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.
