[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 4951850, member: 19675"] Not really, its just a Minotaur that hasn't followed the typical path. I mean, is the scrawny human who spends decades in school in order to theorize about Black Holes not a human, even though a typical human spends his day farming or doing other manual labor that builds muscle? As long as the base things are present from early on- the things that are truly inherent- then you're cool. So...what makes a Minotaur? (Well, a woman, a divine curse, a real bull & a fake, hollow cow.) He's half man, half bull, obviously. The one of myth & legend was familiar with his maze, probably because he grew up in it. The Minotaur power that makes them familiar with all such labyrinths is an addition, but not necessary. He should have some animal-like senses- Scent is a core Feat for them, I'd say. The immense strength? Start off with +2 and add a couple points every Racial level or so. It doesn't need to be there all at once...or even entirely. A minotaur who devotes his life to the life of Wizardry will be stronger than his colleagues, but compared to his kin, he'll be a weakling. His life as an academic won't present the same kinds of opportunities to get physical exercise as other Minotaurs. The size? Well, Nelson De La Rosa and Gheorghe Muresan are both Humans, and have a height difference of something like 4 1/2'. A Minotaur may be more inclined towards being bigger than humans, but they don't have to be. There is nothing wrong with putting a size bump in a racial class level. (Monte did it for his Giants, FWIW, and it works just fine.) [/QUOTE]
