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

Passives

Passive

Immune to fire, cold, and poison damage; advantage on saves against spells.

Passive

Sees clearly through darkness, even magical darkness.

Maneuver

When its tail sting hits, the target takes 1 extra Vigor damage and makes a Body save (DC 15) or is poisoned for 1 round.

Maneuver

Fades from sight until the moment it attacks.

GM tactics

Spies and interrogators of Hell. Uses Invisibility for reconnaissance. Poisons priority targets to weaken them.

Rules

One Vigor pool of 2 x Tier, no Vitality. It breaks and flees with 3 left, and dies at 0. The pool does not regenerate.
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.
With 3 Vigor left it breaks and flees, out of the fight but alive; Fanatics fight on to 0 instead.
At 0 Vigor it is dead: 6 total damage, 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.
