Creating my own Flee Mortals! style Minion Creatures

[JShadow007]

Hey friends!

Flee Mortals! comes with an extension that I believe helps FG automatically handle some of the minion rules from that book--mainly that if it takes *any* damage from a successful hit, the creature is automatically brought to zero hp.

This feature works great for any of the minion monsters in the book itself, but when I try to make my own minions that have identical wording in the Minion trait, the rule doesn't seem to apply.

Is anyone familiar with how this extension works?

I remember it looking for the word Minion in the title of a trait. I'm pretty sure the trait description didn't matter.

Edit: I just took a look at this because it has been a while. The trait doesn't matter, what matters is the XML for the monster has to have:


<role type="string">Minion</role>

I deleted the Minion trait and it was still treated as a minion.

Helpful. Sounds like my best bet may be to duplicate monsters from Flee Mortals and just totally replace the stats. Is there a way to view/ edit the XML without digging through the file system?

Answered my own question--I knew I could export a characcter sheet to XML, i never noticed I could do the same with an NPC sheet.

Exported my minion, appended the role type, imported the modified xml critter, and boom it's working as expected.
