I don't own Savage Species, but I want to put Minotaurs in my homebrew campaign, based on the information at:
http://www.wizards.com/dnd/article.asp?x=dnd/dx20030202ex
I have a few questions:
How much experience does an 8th level minotaur have, and do they gain experience like standard characters? I've gotten conflicting views from the DMG, and paging through SS.
I'm starting a campaign with 9th level characters, and I'm allowing 9th level humans or dwarves. Would a starting Minotaur be Min8/Rgr1, for example?
Finally, I've read this sentence from the above link several times, and am still not clear on it's meaning:
"Because a gore is a natural attack, a minotaur can use the full attack action to attack with a melee weapon and follow up with its gore attack as a secondary attack at a -5 penalty. It does get iterative attacks (multiple attacks with the same weapon at a cumulative -5 penalty), if it is entitled to any, with its melee weapon (but not with its gore) when using such an attack routine."
Let's say a minotaur has a Huge great axe and has an attack of +13/+8. If they have a full round, can they make two ax attacks at +13 and +8, and then a gore attack at +8? +3??? Not at all, since they already had two attacks?
Thanks for your help.
