A Minor has no attribute mechanics: the scores describe the creature, they do not roll.
Passives
Amorphous
Squeezes through 1-inch gaps. While motionless, indistinguishable from wet stone or a pool of water.
Corrode Metal
Nonmagical metal weapons that hit it take a permanent -1 to attack rolls; at -5 they are destroyed. Also corrodes metal armor worn by creatures it hits.
Blindsight
Perceives surroundings within 60 ft. Blind beyond.
Maneuvers
Pseudopod
Melee attack (acid); a hit also corrodes as Corrode Metal.
Tactics
GM tactics

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.
