The rank of minor is the lowest rank of grunt. Grunt minors wear orange armor and are sent into combat with the bare minimum of equipment. In addition to being poor shots, they are cowardly and undisciplined, more often than not breaking ranks and fleeing without a leader to keep them under control. Variant. Some grunt minors are armed with a needler which fires explosive crystalline projectiles instead of a plasma pistol. A grunt minor with a needler loses its charge pistol and plasma pistol actions and gains the following actions: Needler. Ranged Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, range 60/180 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (3d4 + 1) piercing damage. The needler has the short burst (3) property. The grunt minor gains a +2 bonus to attack rolls with a needler since its projectiles home in on enemies. |
