A Sub-Trope of The Beast Master, a common variety of An Adventurer Is You, and the heroic inversion of the Mook Maker and Enemy Summoner (and occasionally the Evil Overlord). Whereas The Beast Master focuses on quality of minions, often restricting themselves to one or two (or at least one at a time), The Minion Master focuses on sheer, undiluted numbers. This often makes for an unusual and difficult-to-balance character build- a character whose power comes from brutally outnumbering his opponents often leaves himself as the squishiest of Squishy Wizards, and enemies either succumb quickly to the Death of a Thousand Cuts or perform a minion version of a Total Party Wipe with area of effect attacks. They tend, of course, to be the keystone of their Keystone Army.
