sea, minotaurs live in an honor-based society where strength determines power in both the gladiatorial arenas and in daily life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Personality<\/strong>: Minotaurs believe in the superiority of their race above all others. They believe their destiny is to rule the world. From youth, minotaurs are trained in combat and warfare and instilled with a strict code of honor. The militaristic society of minotaurs gives them a rigid view of the world, clearly delineated in black and white. Minotaurs value strength, cunning, and intelligence. The ultimate test of all three virtues is conducted in the Great Circus, an annual contest held in a gladiatorial arena.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Physical Description<\/strong>: Minotaurs are physically imposing, standing between 6 1\/2 and 7 1\/2 feet in height and weighing between 300 to 450 pounds. A minotaur&#8217;s upper body is humanoid, with broad shoulders, a deep chest, and strong arms ending in fully articulate hands. For the most part, the legs are also humanlike, although their feet end in cleft hooves. Their powerful bodies are covered with short, thick fur, ranging in hue from red to brown, with rare occurrences of black, tan, or white-furred individuals. Minotaur heads are clearly bovine in nature. They have large, deep-set eyes in shades of dark brown and black. Minotaurs have short, yellow-white horns that grow from their temples, 6 to 12 inches long for females, and anywhere from 1 to 2 feet long for males. Minotaur manes are a shade or two darker than their fur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To nonminotaurs, the physical differences between males and females may not be immediately apparent, since both sexes are equally powerfully built and there is no role distinction between the sexes. Minotaur dress tends to be austere and simple, nothing more than a harness and a leather skirt, although those of noble rank may wear loose-fitting robes. The harness carries weapons as well as providing a place for the minotaur to hang trophies. Minotaurs are considered adults around the age of 17, and can live to be over 150 years old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Relations<\/strong>: To the minotaurs, all the other races of Krynn are weak and inferior. They view dwarves and centaurs with a modicum of respect, due to their rugged, uncompromising natures. Elves and gnomes, on the other hand, are considered weak, frail creatures without any honor or courage. Kender are a nuisance, no better than rats or an infestation of roaches. Of all the races, humans have earned the most respect from the minotaurs, for their military and naval skills are second only to the minotaurs&#8217; own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Alignment<\/strong>: Minotaurs are lawful, raised to believe in a strict code of honor. They are loyal to the death to family and friends and implacable adversaries to their enemies. Minotaurs tend toward evil, due to their worship of Sargas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Minotaur Lands<\/strong>: The minotaur homeland is actually a series of islands that was created during the Cataclysm, the Blood Sea Isles. Two of these islands, Mithas and Kothas, serve as the center of minotaur society. Mithas, the northern island, is a fiery island whose scrub plains lie in the shadow of four great volcanoes. Kothas, the southern island, is not plagued by Mithas&#8217;s volcanoes, but neither is it blessed with Mithas&#8217;s vegetation. Mithas serves as the seat of imperial power for the minotaurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Religion<\/strong>: The chief deity of the minotaurs is Sargas, the Great Horned One. Humans term this god Sargonnas, but the minotaurs do not agree that the two are even the same deity and are willing to back their belief with their fists. A few minotaurs also honor Kiri-Jolith, the bison-headed god of just causes, though worship of Kiri-Jolith is rarer and less organized. Minotaurs who worship Kiri-Jolith or other gods are extremely rare, and keep their religion secret, for the priests of Sargas are fanatical and brutal in stomping out heresy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Language<\/strong>: Kothian is the minotaur language, though minotaurs also speak Common fluently. A clipped, abrupt language, Kothian is much like the minotaurs themselves &#8211; controlled, precise, and harsh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Names<\/strong>: Clan names originate with a great hero. His or her descendants take on the name as their own, doing their best to live up to the ideals of their ancestor. Clan names are always preceded by the diminutive &#8220;es-&#8221; (if the minotaur is from the island of Mithas) or &#8220;de-&#8221; (if the minotaur is from Kothas or one of the outlying colonies), meaning &#8220;of &#8221; (thus Kyris de-Entragath is Kyris of Clan Entragath). (Those with the &#8220;es-&#8221; diminutive often consider themselves superior to those with the &#8220;de-,&#8221; since they see themselves closer to the throne.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Male Names<\/em>: Beliminorgath, Cinmac, Dastrun, Edder, Galdar, Ganthirogani, Hecariverani, Kyris, Tosher, Zurgas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Female Names<\/em>: Ayasha, Calina, Fliara, Helati, Keeli, Kyri, Mogara, Sekra, Tariki, Telia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Clan Names<\/em>: Athak, Bregan, Entragath, Kaziganthi, Lagrangli, Mascun, Orilg, Sumarr, Teskos, Zhakan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Adventurers<\/strong>: Minotaurs glory in strength, honor and bravery, so adventuring comes naturally to them. Minotaur adventurers tend to be more independent than others of their kind, for they have severed ties with their clan to seek their fortune in the world. During the various wars that have wracked Ansalon, minotaur mercenaries have joined whichever side they believed to be the strongest. When a minotaur finds a cause in which he truly believes, he will dedicate himself to that cause, a fact that has earned them the grudging respect of the Knights of Solamnia and other lawful groups.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Minotaurs are born sailors and venture out into the world in trading or pirate ships, for although they despise other races, minotaurs are not averse to taking their goods and money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">KRYNNISH MINOTAUR RACIAL TRAITS<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>+4 Strength, -2 Dexterity, -2 Intelligence, -2 Charisma: Minotaurs are large and powerful, but not very agile. From youth, minotaurs focus on developing their muscles over their minds. Minotaur arrogance can be offensive to other races.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Medium: As Medium creatures, minotaurs have no special bonuses or penalties.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Minotaur base land speed is 30 feet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Natural armor: Minotaurs have exceptionally tough hides, which gives them a +2 natural armor bonus to AC.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Natural Attack: A minotaur may use his horns as natural weapons to make a gore attack, dealing 1d6 points of damage (plus the minotaur&#8217;s Strength modifier). If the minotaur charges, his gore attack deals 2d6 points of damage, plus 1 1\/2 times his Strength modifier. A minotaur can attack with a weapon at his normal attack bonus and make a gore attack as a secondary attack (-5 penalty on the attack roll, and half Strength bonus on the damage roll).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>+2 racial bonus on Intimidate, Swim, and Use Rope checks. Minotaurs are a people familiar with the sea, and are naturally adept at skills useful among seafarers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Minotaurs may take the Scent special quality as a feat.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Automatic Languages: Common and Kothian. Bonus Languages: Kalinese, Nordmaarian, Ogre, and Saifhum. Minotaurs pick up the languages of the other races common in the region of the Blood Sea.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Favored Class: Fighter. A multiclass minotaur&#8217;s fighter class does not count when determining whether he suffers an XP penalty for multiclassing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Minotaur BLOOD SEA MINOTAURS At home both on land and at sea, minotaurs live in an honor-based society where strength determines&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":892,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kadence_starter_templates_imported_post":false,"_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"_kad_post_classname":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[19,28],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-890","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-race","category-rare"],"taxonomy_info":{"category":[{"value":19,"label":"Race"},{"value":28,"label":"Rare"}]},"featured_image_src_large":["https:\/\/planesmarches.gamesoup.com.au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Generated-Image-July-12-2026-12_05PM-1024x559.jpg",1024,559,true],"author_info":{"display_name":"admin","author_link":"https:\/\/planesmarches.gamesoup.com.au\/?author=1"},"comment_info":0,"category_info":[{"term_id":19,"name":"Race","slug":"race","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":19,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":0,"count":31,"filter":"raw","term_order":"0","cat_ID":19,"category_count":31,"category_description":"","cat_name":"Race","category_nicename":"race","category_parent":0},{"term_id":28,"name":"Rare","slug":"rare","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":28,"taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":19,"count":12,"filter":"raw","term_order":"0","cat_ID":28,"category_count":12,"category_description":"","cat_name":"Rare","category_nicename":"rare","category_parent":19}],"tag_info":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/planesmarches.gamesoup.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/890","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/planesmarches.gamesoup.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/planesmarches.gamesoup.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planesmarches.gamesoup.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planesmarches.gamesoup.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=890"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/planesmarches.gamesoup.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/890\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":893,"href":"https:\/\/planesmarches.gamesoup.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/890\/revisions\/893"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planesmarches.gamesoup.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/892"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/planesmarches.gamesoup.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=890"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planesmarches.gamesoup.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=890"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planesmarches.gamesoup.com.au\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=890"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
