Basic Minion Stuffs[edit]
Minions are basic humanoids without a subtype that have a number of humanoid HD. Minions do not advance like normal creatures. They do not gain ability score increases every 4 levels and they do not gain new feats every 3 levels. Instead, as they increase in HD, they gain new abilities as outlined in a section below their statistics block titled "Minion Advancement".
You can't change their equipment (even if you really want to give them a +10 sword), but they do get equipment improvements as their HD advance. You also can't steal or use their equipment. Only the minion is able to use it.
A minion has a number of HD equal to 1/2 its commander's HD (minimum 1 HD).
