[QUOTE="Dualazi, post: 7746541, member: 6855537"] Like many others I'll chime in on the size issue, being that I don't like it one bit. I'm going to go out on a limb and assume that if/when these get released, they'll have similar disclaimers about the races in Volo's with regards to potential balance issues. Assuming that is the case, I'd rather they try and bring something interesting to the table than try and shoehorn centaur-lite into a standard racial chassis. I also don't see any value in limiting their charge to 1/ short rest, one extra weapon die of damage is not worth that kind of gating, and if they try and repeatedly use it in the same combat, chances are they'll take some opportunity attacks which is a fair trade. Minotaurs seem like they need a lot of clarifications on Hammering Horns, as others have noted, since it seems like you can't use it in conjunction with other horn abilities, but might be able to use it with weapon skills. Also, it's weird that the minotaur dash horn attack has no restrictions on use while the centaur does, and I'm not sure if the distance needed to be traveled is really worth the differentiation. Overall, I wish wizards was willing to be a little more ambitious about making races both unique and also have areas where they dominate or face extreme challenges, size being a great example of this. Sometime it's a huge bonus, sometimes it leads to "Favored Enemy: Stairs" [/QUOTE]
