06-28-05, 08:26 PM I am looking for the stats for a bull or an animal that comes close. I am mainly looking for the gore damage and ability scores. I think the ability scores would be close to a draft horse but I'm just guessing.

Thanks in advance.

Bulls are horned, male bovines, used primarily for breeding cattle. A fully-grown bull typically stands five to six feet tall at the shoulder. Unlike cows, bulls are very aggressive and should be approached with extreme caution.

In some parts of the world, bull fighting is a very popular sport.

Combat
An enraged bull is a frightening sight, best avoided by all but the bravest of warriors.

Because of the great danger posed by a bull’s horns, many farmers have their bull’s horns removed. A dehorned bull replaces the gore attack with a headbutt attack that deals only 1d8+4 points of damage.

Rage (Ex): When a bull enters combat, it may enter a rage similar to that of a barbarian rage. Each round of combat, the bull should make a Will saving throw (DC 15) during its action. If it fails, it will enter a rage.

As in a barbarian’s rage, a bull gains a +4 bonus to Strength, +4 to Constitution and a +2 morale bonus to Will saves. However, it suffers a –2 Armour Class penalty. The rage lasts eight rounds and may not be ended voluntarily.
