Special Abilities:

Axe Mastery: The Minotaur will cause an additional damage with a Small Battle based on its level (see: the "Attacks" chart above).

Minotaur's Luck: Minotaur do not lose their next physical offensive turn if they use luck. Luck used will regenerates at a rate of 1-D4 points per turn.

Special Defenses:

Natural Parry: The Minotaur can parry a weapon with its horns as well as a trained character can parry with a blade. Parrying a weapon will not damage the horn (like a shield that loses the integrity of its damage-points when struck), but if the parried weapon-strike deals out damage equal to, or greater, than the damage-points of the Minotaur's horn, it will break (each horn will have 1-D20 +1 damage-points per level of the Minotaur). In any case, the Minotaur's horns will turn a weapon strike (just as armor does) on a roll of 81+

Special Offenses:

Charge: If this creature inflicts more than 50% damage on a charge strike (with its horns)
its opponent must pit its strength against it and win or be stunned for 1-D3 turns.

Stun effects: -3-D4 to Defense and Offense for the duration of the stun effect. This stun effect stacks up to 3 times.

Charge must begin at least 2 spaces (10') from the Minotaur (there must be two spaces between the minotaur's target or it cannot use Charge).

Horn Proficiency: +5 to Offense when attacking with horns.

Rage: If this creature causes a maximum damage with its axe, it will break into a battle fury rage, gaining +2 attacks per turn (only with a small battle axe) for 1-D4 turns. While Rage is in effect, damage will be at x2 and the Minotaur will gain a +10 to attack rolls. Rage does not stack, but will refresh each time maximum damage is caused. Rage will occur even if a characters armor turns the strike.

Susceptibilities and Weaknesses: -10 to avoid Magic and Mental-Attack.

Weapon Susceptibilities : Rank-0 non-magical weapon to harm.
