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

While motionless, indistinguishable from a tangle of dead vines.

Takes 1 extra damage from fire.
Maneuvers
Constrict
When its lash hits, the target is also grabbed. A grabbed creature takes 1 Vigor damage at the start of each of its turns as the roots drink.
Entangling Plants
Roots and vines erupt in a 15 ft radius. Creatures in the area make a Body save (DC 11) or are restrained until the end of their next turn.

Rules
- One Vigor pool of 2 x Tier, no Vitality. It breaks and flees with 1 left, and dies at 0. The pool does not regenerate.
- 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.
- With 1 Vigor left it breaks and flees, out of the fight but alive; Fanatics fight on to 0 instead.
- At 0 Vigor it is dead: 2 total damage, 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.
