That's what I'm saying - the reason Khellek (and by extension Aimhirghin) was originally looking for Winterhaven was to find his sister. It had nothing to do with whatever you've got planned to get us hooked into the adventure. Once we got close - into the area where we'll end up meeting the rest of the party - we hear rumors of the trouble there.
Well, Dad, I 'said' no more, but it's not easy to say no to you, man! We've got five now, but knowing the vagaries of pbp, I'd feel better if we had six, really. What do you guys think? Can we take one more? Awww, come on! It's Walking Dad, after all! My old buddy from kinem's game (where he's the Halfling Druid to my Dwarf Wizard) and Scotley's Tomb of Horrors.
Why don't you go ahead and submit a character here in the OOC, and we'll see about it. One word of warning -- I've pretty much opened the floodgates for oddball characters, so right now we've pretty much got a Freak Show on Legs. (Except for our ONE poor,normal Eladrin wizard.) If that doesn't scare you off, then come ahead.
I would like to play a minotaur barbarian (seems fitting ).
Sadly I'm no Insider subscriber. Were major changes to the minotaur and/or the barbarian? (like getting the ability to add con instead of int/dex, like the other primal classes?)

Picture
Background:
Tarrk was born on the fringes of the civilized lands. While his rough upbringing left him socially inept, his strong arms, great constitution, keen eyes and closeness to nature make him a valuable part of any adventuring group.
Tarrk was part of a feral minotaur. But after the old chiefs death his older brother or his brothers gretest rival, Grimgroo Boarimpaler should duell for the new leader position. His brother died in the ring of honor, but Tarrk suspected tereachery in Grimgoo's victory. Unable to challenge the new chief without a legend of his own, Tarrk left the tribe to seek honor and glory, to one day return and take leadership of his tribe.

Hi I'm a comic and rpg nerd. Don't hurt me, please.
Morgran mostly worked scouting out old mines and exploring old caves for potential new strikes. He discovered his patron in one of the deep places (the dwarf has digged to deep ). He was there when our family was killed in a (purposeful?) mine collapse. None of the authorities beleive that it was murder, but he knows that the family had enemies...and that the collapse was no mistake.
Image
Morgran is squat and compact with a bald head and unwoven beard. His light grey eyes look as cold as granite and he peers at everyone, as if trying to look into their very souls. He always wears his chainmail under his robes, just in case.

Edit: The alternative would be a dwarf warlock

Your damage listed is for a standard, medium-sized Greataxe. But as a minotaur, you can use a weapon of one size larger than normal as if it was properly sized for you. I can't find the table that shows the progression of weapon damage for various sized weapons but I hope that there is one! I know there is one in the 3.5 dmg, so we may have to use that one. Also, were does the +5 on damage come from? +4 for Strength, I know, but I'm not seeing the extra +1. And which character do you want to play most? I just now noticed that you've posted two! I played a minotaur fighter in Atanatotatos's 20th level 4E game for awhile, and it was GREAT fun!

What's it gonna be man? The Minotaur Barbarian or the Dwarf Warlock? No, you can't play both! :P

I know, I know, I was reading someone else's sblock, but in the new Dragon magazine they've removed that feature from the Minotaur when they gave them a full racial write-up, instead giving them Goring Charge, which is an encounter power. Not sure if you have access to it, I can e-mail over the details if you need.

You can email it, if you wish, Ryan, but my MM3e MM4e (duhhh) is still going to have that rule as well as the goring charge encounter power, so I am not terribly inclined to make a change based upon your report. Plus, I just think it's cool the way it is. (But, thanks for the heads-up, anway.)

No Problem, I just wanted to bring up something that we came upon the L4W forums... which minotaur to use now as there are 2 versions, 1 MM & 1 Dragon (which you only get if you subscribe)
Please go ahead and email it to me, Ryan? I'm thinking (hoping) that the dragon article may have some reasoning behind the change that may actually make sense. But, WD, for now, I am inclined to leave it as written in the MM4E.

I'd also like to see IC posts from both Abulia and Walking Dad before we get much further along at all. And a character for WD would be nice as well. No big rush, though, WD.
