Twenty new monsters, each with but a single hit point!

Twenty new monsters, each with but a single hit point!
Written up for Holmes Basic/OD&D, but usable with any OSR D&D really.

  1. Apparently the table above, which is cut and pasted from Word, is not showing up on some computer screens. If so, you can also view it as a screenshot here:

  2. Call them minions and its the only thing from 4e that I remember in my one time read through the rules. Otherwise, very cool flavor, will definitely be using some of them in my games. many thanks for posting.

  3. Interesting! I've never looked at 4th edition but I just did some quick searching on it. These are meant to stand alone rather than have boss monsters. They also do but a single point of damage on a successful hit to scale them for one or a few 1st level players.

  4. For anyone interested, I've made the table into a one-page pdf that can be downloaded from the Holmes Ref page on the Zenopus Archives website:
