A Minor has no attribute mechanics: the scores describe the creature, they do not roll.
Passives
Passive
Reckless
May attack with advantage; until the start of its next turn, attacks against it also have advantage.
Passive
Rage
While it has taken any damage, it is resistant to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage. Fanatic: it fights to the death instead of fleeing at 0 Vigor.

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.
