Manual of Merciless Mooks and Minions

Minions, as a mechanic, were introduced in 4th Edition to make battles massive and epic without adding too much difficulty to the battle. A minion has 1 HP and therefore dies as soon as it takes any damage, so long as that damage is not the result of a missed attack. This concept can be ported directly over into 5th Edition, with the addition of not being killed if it succeeds on a saving throw that does half damage instead. You can add lots of them to a battle, or just a few, to up the perceived threat level without drastically altering the real threat level.

This booklet contains over 50 monsters, minions and thematic bosses to lead them, lists of suggested abilities to make piles more, and advice for making and using your own minions.  I present minions for each type I unsystematically decided could use minions. Each minion type will come with an example encounter to show how they might be used and how they affect battle tactics.
