Message: <blockquote data-quote="Hawk Diesel" data-source="post: 6787523" data-attributes="member: 59848">According to RAW, without a feat or fighting style both weapons being used must be light weapons in order to use the bonus action to attack. In addition, a natural attack does not automatically qualify as a light weapon unless it is explicitly described as such. This is why a creature can make multiple natural attacks with the multiattack option despite their natural attacks not being considered light weapons, but cannot use their bonus action to make additional attacks via two-weapon fighting. Personally, I think this is kind of stupid and nit-picky, but this is how the rules are written.If you take the Dual Wielder feat, the weapons being used no longer have to be light weapons, which would then allow you to use the natural attack with the two weapon fighting option. However, you would still not be able to add your strength modifier to the natural attack's damage without the two weapon fighting style.Edit: I gotta disagree with you, Kobold Stew. I think the Minotaur is fairly balanced, speaking from someone currently DM'ing one in the campaign I'm running. Yes, the player does not require a weapon like other characters, but it's not much different than an elf getting access to a damage dealing wizard cantrip. A minotaur still must maintain the same economy of actions as other players, and there are no current ways (within the current rule set) that allows a minotaurs attacks to be considered magical without taking 6 levels of monk, nor can the minotaur's horns ever become silvered or adamantine.</blockquote>
