These are messengers and servitors of the Mulhorandi deities. They appear as large, well-muscled warriors in bronze armor decorated with the symbol of the deity. They favor large khopeshes, scimitars, and two-handed swords. A minion is 25% likely to have a magical weapon of up to +2 enchantment Minions need not eat or drink, and they and their equipment disappear if they are slain (they are reformed by their deities in the Outer Planes). They radiate a faint aura of their alignment and the deity's portfolio; for example, minions of Hathor inspire inherent trust, while those of Set produce instinctive dislike in animals, which flee.
The minions of Set are most active, carry khopeshes or broad swords, and wear black scaly plate mail armor. They often serve as military advisors to mortal worshipers.
Divine minions can also change shape at will to animal form, usually only when absolutely necessary. This takes less man a single round, in which the minion's initiative modifier is 5. The minion retains its AC, Hit Dice, and hit points, while gaining the animal form's movement rate, attacks, and any special attack forms. The form dictates how minions coordinate with each other. Bears, hawks, scorpions, and snakes fight alone; crocodiles and ibises attack in swarms; lions and jackals coordinate in complex strategies, includ­ing ambushes and other ploys. Animal types are summarized on the Minion Table.
