#1 fighterforhire Apr 10, 2009 11:01:46	In my circle of friends I have the Nickname Minon Killer. My DM hates when he uses minons, hates when he has too, just hates using minions. I come into the game and they are having a skirmish with about 12 minions and three solo guys. I run out into the fray and do Battering which is on my hammer. I also have a feat called Hammer Rhythm which on a miss deals my con mod as damage. Battering stakes that in a close burst 3 I make a melee attack against every enemy in that area. Hit or miss I still do enough to kill them so I dropped all 12 minions at once and now onto the three bugbears lol. I want to see other "Titles" people have garnered in there DnD circles and how. So lets hear em!
#2 poppinfresh Apr 10, 2009 11:17:47	I'm pretty sure minions don't take damage from missed attacks
#3 hazard84 Apr 10, 2009 11:33:05	Sorry for taking your title away, but minions never take damage on a miss. Not from Hammer Rhythm or missed dailys. You are playing it wrong
#4 nightwalker450 Apr 10, 2009 11:57:11	Yep, misses don't kill minions. My title is Rules Lawyer, because of the group I try to keep track of all the errata and potential questions that could come up. Not because I create metagamed characters that take advantage of broken things (I find the broken things, and then bring them to the group for us to develop appropriate house rules instead).
#5 Shiftkitty Apr 10, 2009 13:19:51	HP 1; a missed attack never damages a minion. Source: Every minion listing.;)
#6 person34 Apr 10, 2009 17:00:13	In case you are going to come back saying a miss should do damage to a minion, I would like you to take a look at the wizard power Fireball. I believe that is a Ranged burst 4 within 10. That does like 5d6 damage or something like that, but on a miss does half damage. So if misses hit minions, and there was a wizard in the party, there would never be any point to ever have minions.
#7 Shiftkitty Apr 10, 2009 18:47:19	Or you could rechristen him a "Mignon" killer and have him devour very expensive steaks in an incredibly messy manner...
#8 fighterforhire Apr 11, 2009 9:34:54	Lol im a cleric now and I regained my minon killer status by doing giant burst 8 radiant attacks. and I did bring this up to him the hammer rhythm so I still am the Minion Killer!
#9 Nerpherder Apr 11, 2009 11:17:41	Lol im a cleric now and I regained my minon killer status by doing giant burst 8 radiant attacks. and I did bring this up to him the hammer rhythm so I still am the Minion Killer! What are you using to make Giant Burst 8 attacks with a cleric?
#10 arakis Apr 11, 2009 11:45:42	The best way to auto-kill minions are (not surprisingly) the auto-damage effects, especially from zones and auras. The Archlich is a master of this since lvl 21, basically making near every minion useless. But lot of other systems exist... Stances, AP effects, etc.
#11 Nyarlathotep Apr 11, 2009 11:56:39	I want to see other "Titles" people have garnered in there DnD circles and how. So lets hear em! I am known in my gaming group as "The Spiller" due to an unfortunate propensity for ruining everyones character sheets.

Encounter ✦ Divine, Radiant Standard Action Close burst 8 Target: Each enemy in burst Attack: Wisdom vs. Will Hit: 3d8 + Wisdom modifier radiant damage. If the target is either an undead creature or a demon, it is also stunned until the end of your next turn. Im using this
#13 jhanzur Apr 12, 2009 8:10:04	Uh........... 1. that doesn't use your hammer. That is an implement attack. 2. Your DM is doing it wrong.
#14 CelticPaladin Apr 12, 2009 11:27:38	Uh........... 1. that doesn't use your hammer. That is an implement attack. 2. Your DM is doing it wrong. He's talking about how he uses that attack to regain his minion killer status, sir. He made another post saying he uses this instead, now that he knows misses don't kill minions with his hammer attack.

I got a cleric myself and could not remember any burst 8 attacks, I need reread my paragon path choices. lol
