Perhaps they adventure because the grass is greener on the other side of the fence? Or maybe they just have a beef with somebody? Perhaps they find themselves on the horns of a dilemma. Or their backstory could be that they are retired adventurers not quite ready to be put out to pasture. Or maybe they are epic adventurers, the creme de la creme.
I know some of those ideas are whey too cheesy, but I thought I'd milk this idea till the cows come home. So to those who claim my post is udderly inappropriate, I say.... Bull!

Roast Beef, actually. And blueberry pie.
As to an all-minotaur party, good luck with that.

Morpheus: "No Neo. I'm telling you that when you're 30th level; you won't need anything."
Sure. Druid or Invoker (Wis/ Con), or staff wizard (Int/Con)
Fighter (Str/ Con)
Warden (Str/Con)
Warlord or Cleric (Str/Cha or Str/Int)
Barbarian (Str/Con)
I'd probably prefer the invoker for better distance attacks, and build it a bit strikerish, since the rest of the party is all about melee. This is a party that may not kill quickly, but has the durability to hold out for the long haul.
But I guess there's no use in crying over spilled milk.

Reason: Spurious post in the wrong thread.
The DM's best friend suggests that a cow PC should get a +2 bonus to Endurance checks to sleep standing up.

Since they're horns, and therefore technically instruments, can a cow use its natural weapons as a Bard implement?
