The next d20 roll you make will be considered a natural 1 or 20 depending on a coin flip. (If an attack requires more than 1 roll, use the coin for each roll within that 1 attack)

DM’s Notes, Game 9

In the game I wanted to have a large horde of enemies that could be intimidating and overwhelming if not dealt with properly. I didn’t want to have to keep track of large amounts of HP, but I also didn’t want all the enemies to be minions – I didn’t feel that it gave the right flavour.  So to get around this I made up 3 distinct groupings of enemies for the game. Each set had common defences and attacks. The first group were minions. The second were a group I nicknamed ‘maxions’ – that didn’t take damage, but would die if they took 2 hits. Like double minions, I suppose.

Minions – All defences 17. On a Critical hit, do 8 extra damage.

Maxions – All defences 20. On a critical hit, spawns a minion.

Dread Spectre – All defences 22. On a critical hit, spawns a maxion.
