03-24-07, 08:12 PM Not with the minotaur, its simply to powerful to not have an LA.

on the other hand, a race like satyr, or pixie, or lizard folk could be worked down to where it was an LA 0 race.

A possibility might be to take racial levels, I know they have some for several races on the WOTC mainpage if you look for them, there might be guidelines for doing it with any race, but regardless, you could probably figure out a system.

03-24-07, 08:32 PM Dragonlance has low powered minotaurs as a PC race. I don't know what their stats are or if they have an LA, but they should be much closer to what you're looking for than the stats in the MM.

03-25-07, 05:20 PM In my 7-8th level Eberron game, I am allowing a player to play a Minotaur PC with levels from Savage Species. With a few minor tweaks, the racial breakdown fits seamlessly into 3.5.

He is minotaur 6, Rogue 1, and carries a great scimitar. Refugee from Droaam and a former sky pirate.

03-27-07, 02:18 AM The Dragonlance Minotaur would be your best bet.

Otherwise, just take an Orc, eliminate the Light blindness and the neg to WIS and you should have a pretty good Minotaur...

03-27-07, 01:43 PM just use the Savage Species (it's the example monster species towards the begining of the book) minotaur and convince your DM to start out at a higher level game. Eberron is fantastically fun at high levels.

Minotaur background has only showed up so far in PGtE, where minotaurs are described as ruling maze-cities in Xen'drik, although in Keith Baker's novel City of Towers, Lei fights a minotaur. Later they see a minotaur in Stormreach in The Shattered Land and note the anatomical differences between Xen'drik and Khorvaire minotaurs

03-28-07, 11:22 PM Ibixian (Goatfolk, MM3) is a good scaled down, low LA race.

... which has nothing to do with minotaurs.

Well, they do both have horns.
Fabius Maximus
03-30-07, 07:25 AM Well, they do both have horns.

Well, try to liken a minotaur with a goat, and you get gored faster than you can say 'Ibixian'. ;)
The White Sorcerer
03-30-07, 07:40 AM Well, try to liken a minotaur with a goat, and you get gored faster than you can say 'Ibixian'. ;)

The point was propably to use ibixian stats, not their appearence.
