 Overlords have minions that are comparatively weak- but also loyal, numerous and cheap. These minions might be flavored as any number of things, depending on your campaign setting- goblins, vat-grown ninja, automatons, minor spirits, or the like (even wacky tic-tacs if you INSIST). If you want the feeling of being surrounded by a huge crowd of absolutely worthless chumps, be sure to give your minions at least one level in [[Swarm]]. Overlords have minions that are comparatively weak- but also loyal, numerous and cheap.
