The Minotaur
Design Note: I wanted to give them better senses (Keen Sense, Low Light Vision, Alertness, free d6 in Notice, or some combination), since that's part of their D&D lore, but they already have a lot of Racial Abilities, and it's hard to find balancing negative abilities that make sense and aren't just REALLY uncharismatic.
- All Thumbs: Minotaurs have large, blunt fingers and tend to be suspicious of technology, and thus have the All Thumbs Hindrance.
- Bull-Headed: Minotaurs are congenitally stubborn, always want their way, and never admit they are wrong.
- Gore: A minotaur's horns are natural weapons which cause Str+d6 damage. A favored minotaur tactic is to use them in a charging Wild Attack.
- Massive: Minotaurs average over 7' tall, and are +1 Size. This gives them a +1 bonus to Toughness.
- Powerful: Minotaurs are heavily muscled. They have +1 Strength.
- Outsider: Minotaurs are viewed by other races as aggressive, bestial, and dangerous, and so subtract 2 from their Charisma.
