So how do you think the attack routine would look? +11 Powerful Charge-Gore, +11/+6 Greataxe, +6 Gore?

Looking at adding a levels of Barbarian to a Minotaur NPC to increase his CR and the whole lion-totem-pounce thing came to mind to make him even meaner/more challenging (things PC's can do I let more advanced monsters do as well). So the Mino can charge/pounce and do his full attack routine...

Ah, forgot about that devotion trick. Good catch! Agreed. Fate! There it is! Good lists people have put together so far.

Now I know the topic is completely subjective based on what you want your Cleric to do; healers want the Healing domain of course and undead fighters are probably looking at Glory and Sun among others. For a combat orientated Cleric though, what are some good domains to snag? War, if your deity...

For the increased crit multiplier and upped damage I would probably rule that as a 2hd weapon then - or maybe along the lines of the bastard sword in that it is 2hd without the exotic weapon proficiency feat to use it 1hd.

1d6, p/b damage is my vote. As Chalice said, a poor man's morningstar is how it sounds to me. I also would vote for hp/hardness of a wood weapon, club maybe as the basis.

That's kinda what I was thinking as well. Light armor, twf/over-sized twf, weapon finesse and improved weapon finesse if your DM will allow it. Could be a mean build. Pitspawned armor (from PHBII I think) damages people that hurt you (bypasses DR if I recall right too) and fluff/roleplay-wise...

The Swordsage (tome of battle) using the unarmed variant makes a great kung-fuey monk. The maneuver options to pick from let you theme yourself out for a particular style as well.

maybe prone with a bow should reduce range capabilities?

Those cats were fast as lightning!

I assumed being a racial weapon they (Raptorians) would have proficiency with it, I was implying for anyone else you'd still need to burn a feat for proficiency. I know I shouldn't assume, but I guess I'm use to the way our group plays all racial weapons as being martial for their race instead...

So there are quite a few awesome monstrous races that would be fun to play as a PC but between the LA and the Racial Hitdie they just don't work to include in most parties, especially if you start in the low levels. How do you feel about removing the Racial Hitdie (to include attack bonus...

I seem to recall a foot-bow that some bird race had - maybe from Races of the Wild - seems like that should be usable while prone. But it would cost you a feat anyway for the exotic weapon proficiency with that bow I guess. As for the 2hd weapon question I didn't see anything in the rules...

Found it; the Loxo from Monster Manual II, p. 144. Couldn't find anything in my searches for the Dragon Magazine issues for any rhino/elephant races so if anyone has a line on those I'm still interested.

I'm planning a campaign for our group that will include a lot of bestial humanoids where humans are the oddity; Minotaur (and the like) being a big part of the population. I recall seeing an humanoid Elephant-like race but for the life of me can't remember what they are called or what book I...

Personally I don't like it. I usually make my own adventures or heavily modify modules to fit my needs (or into the campaign setting) but I like to have an idea of what/where I want the adventure to go. I do keep anywhere from 3-5 mini adventures on hand in case the party wanders away from the...

The Harper Agent (Forgotten Realms) PrC could easily be adapted for this role as well. I forget where I saw it but there is also a Zhentarim Fighter that replaces your normal Fighter levels with lots of Intimidation benefits, could be good for 'bruisers'.

As has been said, limited magic items increases the power of the caster classes. For that I would suggest maybe limiting magic available, that is, the PC may not be able to "learn" every spell he wants. At least not for free... he may have to quest to find old tomes or scrolls. Scrolls...

The Forgotten Realms setting has a regional feat 'swift & silent' or some such thing that allows full speed movement while hiding/moving silently.

New custom magic item to have the spell effect of Raging Flame continuously as a ring - I'd prefer it be centered on myself as the actual spell range is 30' radius and it would affect all fires (friendly and foe) in the area. We've worked out the price, (True Strike items, to include the bow...
