Depends on how the minion was coded , if it replicated the effects of the spell then it would board clear , but it seems to be simply casting the spell on every other minion . With something like SWPain , it would probably kill all minions that SW pain could kill . <| sep |> If they were roleplaying decently , I ' d expect someone with a low CHA to add that to the story . The stats are cues for what the designers think the story should be about . Seeing as I ' m convinced you ' re Monte Cook in disguise , I will reference your game Numenera which has no charisma stat . You merely get an inability or advantage in social situations . Numenera is about being clever , strong , and fast . Which is why I don ' t get why you keep telling me it ' s about discovery . Anyway . I respect that your system might want different story goals , but I would take care and avoid disabling some key balancing features of the larger design .
