Minotaur as a player race

[Ironicdisaster]

In a homebrew campaign, I plan on replacing dwarves with medium sized minotaur for thematic reasons. My original thought was to take dwarves and just reskin them as minotaur-kin, but the movement speed didn't seem right. So I changed it to 30 feet, nothing special. That got me thinking, though. What else could/should I change to make these minotaur their own race and not, infact, basically the same as dwarves?

there was a 3rd party supplement doing exactly what you want to do, I'll look it up in a bit.

Here is the link, it might be worth the 5 $, just copy paste to take you there :

If you give the taurians a shot, let us know what you think. :)

I see absolutely see no reason why you couldn't just use dwarf stats and just call them medium minotaurs. Maybe get rid of stonecunning and racial hatreds, and replace them with a natural gore attack.

If you can find it the Dragonlance Campaign Setting book released during 3.5 has stats for a medium sized minotaur.

That is what I was looking for. Thanks, RD!

The 2nd edition World of Warcraft role-playing game has the Tauren starting out as Medium-sized creatures who become size Large through the use of a Tauren racial class.

With a little tweaking, you could make them PC-Compatible with Pathfinder.

the 3.5 monster manual had minotaurs as a playable race.

No more than Paizo's Bestiary.

Personally, I like The Genius Guide to Races of Hoof and Horn better. Cost less and seems to fit the world better, imo.
