Minions
When character confront much weaker characters, it can be helpful to treat the weaker character more simply. This is especially true if there will be multiple of the weaker characters. This is where Minions become helpful.
Minions simplify the game by grouping multiple Attributes together to simplify the character and make tracking values much easier. Unclean Spirits are the most basic Minions. Other, stronger Minions are based off of one of the 4 basic Orders. Multi-Order elohim and Beasts are not offered as Minions here, but a Host that wanted to create some is of course free to do so. Multi-Order elohim are not recommended as Minions because Multi-Order characters add complexity and a major reason for using Minions is to simply characters. Beasts are already generally more simple and to remove the special abilities they have would reduce them to being mostly only different in flavor rather than being practically different in how the affect the game.
A Minion's Minion Level (ML) is the minimum recommended average Rank for players characters to face that kind of Minion.
Ex. Unclean Spirits are ML:0, which means even a group of Rank:0 player characters can face them. ML:3 Warrior Minions should be faced with of ML:3 should only be faced by players characters of an average of at least Rank:3.
One of the most impactful ways that Minions simplify things is by grouping multiple Attributes together. Basic Attributes are reduced to two groupings: one for Might, Control, and Swiftness, and one for Endurance Resolve, and Passion. For War Scroll purposes, Minions are entered as having the lowest Swiftness for their Speed. All damage is applied to the second grouping, making damage for Minions easier to keep track of. War Attributes are not derived from Basic Attributes, so they don't ever need refigured during War. War Attributes are not grouped, however, because they don't convert equally and also because they preserve the uniqueness between different kinds of Minions. Social Attributes are reduced to a single Skill and Composure, simplifying the resolution of Social Interactions involving Minions. Minions do not have Special Abilities from their Order and do not cause Passion Effects, even when playing at the Breath level of play. Minions do not equip Items and do not have other bonuses.
