XP: 2

Treasure: 2

Action Points: 0

Damage Multiplier: Single

Initiative Mod: 0

Condition Immunity:

Special Abilities:

• (Leader Role) Leader attacks perform free Bull Rush attempts once per round.

• (Leader Role) Leaders can give one ally a standard action, once per round, as an immediate action.

• (Leader Role) Leaders give all allied monsters and creatures +2 to hit and damage per five hit dice of that monster. Minions use their normal hit die rating, even though they only have one hit point. Round up. This buff ends when the leader mob is killed.

• (Leader Role) Leaders buff all minions, so they take two hits to kill. If the minions then get another buff from a non-leader, they take three hits to kill. This benefit immediately goes away if the leader dies. See Leader Role for details.
  
  

Minion

Hit Points: 0+1

XP: 0.25

Treasure: 0.25

Action Points: 0

Damage Multiplier: Single

Initiative Mod: 0

Condition Immunity:

Special Abilities:

• (Minion Role) Minions never gain temp hit points or healing, although both count as a buff. If a minion receives any buff, at all, it requires two hits to kill it, not one. This is in addition to the normal, non-hit point, effects of the buff.

• (Minion Role) Minions are able to squeeze with no penalties. You can pack them into the battlefield like sardines. See Minion Role for details.

One Hit Point (Ex)

Minions only have 1 hit point, but it is special. Killing a minion requires either the attacker to succeed on a to-hit roll, or the minion to fail on a saving throw roll. Even then, if the minion is able to successfully mitigate all of the damage with their defenses (such as DR or ER), they live anyway. Minions NEVER take damage from misses or from a successful saving throw against a spell or effect, even of that spell or effect would normally deal partial damage on a successful save.

Autohit spells (no to-hit roll, no save, such as Magic Missile, Fireball or the Fog spells) are are counted as attacks which automatically miss. However, a minion which successfully mitigates four attacks because of misses, successful saves, or ridiculous defenses, still dies after four such misses. As a result, three magic missiles have no effect, but the fourth one always kills a minion. This works for all 'no-die-roll' automatic damage, so a minion hanging out in an Acid Fog cloud is fine until the fourth round, when it dies. However, making a caster level check to overcome a Minion's SR is NOT counted as a successful roll against a minion.
