This video shows how to create a macro that can be used to automate group attacks for minions as described in MCDM's Flee Mortals!

Code from the video:
&{template:npcfullatk} {{attack=1}} {{damage=1}} {{always=1}} {{dmg1flag=1}} @{Goblin Lackey|npc_name_flag} {{rname=Dagger (Group Attack)}} {{r1=[[1d20+3+?{numberOfMinions}]]}} {{r2=[[1d20+3+?{numberOfMinions}]]}} {{dmg1=[[1*?{numberOfMinions}]]}} {{dmg1type=piercing}}
&{template:npcfullatk} {{attack=1}} {{damage=1}} {{always=1}} {{dmg1flag=1}} @{Hellhound Cur|npc_name_flag} {{rname=Hellish Bite (Group Attack)}} {{r1=[[1d20+5+?{numberOfMinions})]]}} {{r2=[[1d20+5+?{numberOfMinions})]]}} {{dmg1=[[3*?{numberOfMinions}]]}} {{dmg1type=fire}} {{description=If the target isn’t a hellhound and the attack was made by more than one cur, the target must make a Dexterity saving throw with a DC equal to [[10+?{numberOfMinions}]]. On a failed save, the target is lit on fire for 1 minute (save ends at end of turn), or until the target or another creature who can reach them uses an action to extinguish the flames. A creature who is on fire at the start of their turn takes [[?{numberOfMinions}]] fire damage. If a creature who is already on fire is set on fire again on a subsequent turn, the damage isn’t cumulative, but the duration of the fire resets to 1 minute.}}

I LOVE “Flee Mortals!” I use the Minion Rule at my physical table already - my players have really enjoyed feeling like hero’s as they chew through them. This macro will make using it in Roll20 very easy!! Great video! I have also been using Matt’s video on Action Oriented Monsters to make “Boss” versions with Villainous Actions. Combined with this Minion Rule … my players get to chew through mobs and face real threats!!

Awesome stuff! Villainous actions + minions = epic encounters that players will remember for a long time.

I can see so many uses for this type of scripting. Thank you Nick for, yet again, another extremely useful video. I'm starting Phase 3 of Tomb of Annihilation for a small group of adventures and will certainly use this in a variety of situations. Keep this stuff coming sir!

If you want the name of the selected minion to appear in the flag, just put {{name=@{selected|token_name}}} and it will appear without having to change the name for each group. I love this macro, sir.

Nice work Nick, unfortunately I don't play D&D so I'll have to see about tweaking for the systems I do play.

Is it possible that you provide a overview about every makro/API/trick you use in your games? Like a full modded game. There are so many possibilities that its difficult to combine everything.

That's definitely something I could look into. Thanks for watching, and happy gaming!

This is an odd one. It seems to me that the purpose of minion rules is to streamline mass combat to the circumstances of the pen and paper tabletop, and once you're automating die rolls in the first place they're kind of the right tool for a job that isn't the one you're faced with.

How would initiative come into play? If you have six minions surrounding a character, would they roll initiative as a unit, or individually, and then each has a group attack?

They roll initiative as a unit. Happy gaming!
