Underlings (Creature)

The addition of more creatures or NPCs to a combat can have a rippling effect on player difficulty and the gamemaster's ability to manage all of the moving parts on the battlefield. Underlings are intended to add depth to certain combat situations while minimizing the time necessary to build and manage.

Underlings are meant to be disposable combatants with only the most basic statistics. Underlings should not be the only constituent part of an encounter, but rather a supplemental force for a more formidable opponent.
