How do Ranged weapons work with Minions? I don't believe there is any real distinction in the rules, and frankly doing so risks overcomplicating things. I'm fine with a single shot dropping multiple minions, but how does that work conceptually?

It's up to the player to describe it. Examples:

1) 1 shot going through multiple minions
2) Ricochet shot
3) You fires multiple bullets/arrows quickly
4) You an item/furnishing/terrain feature that fell over into multiple
5) You shot one minion, knocking him into others
6) You shot a minion, causing his weapon to fly off and hit another one

There's a start and it's much easier than creating rules :)

Works for me. Like I said, wasn't looking for new rules. Though I did think I might have missed something in the rulebook.

Carry on,
Tom

Yeah it can break immersion a bit, but can also be fun to describe.
