Band size table

The table sets the largest band for each challenge rating. No band has more members than its row allows.

Where the defaults come from

The defaults are the Minions per Standard column of the Minion Encounter Building table in Flee, Mortals!. The settings window calls it "the table of the rules". In the book, the column is for building encounters: that many minions count as one standard creature. The book doesn't limit band size, and its bands are optional. Minion! uses the column as the default band size.

Challenge rating Maximum band size
0 to 4 5
5 to 8 8
9 and above 10

Values from Flee, Mortals! by MCDM Productions. The book has the full table.

The table window. Default shows each row's original value.

Every maximum must be a whole number of 2 or more, or the table isn't saved. A creature above CR 21 uses the last row.

Balance

As the window warns, moving away from the table of the rules affects the balance of your encounters. The table applies to the whole world.

If the saved table gets corrupted, Minion! falls back to the default and tells the GM. Open the table from the settings to fix it.
