Shattered Kingdoms

No-one (ok, practically no-one) will choose to play a minotaur, except for painful RP reasons perhaps. The race is not viable due to the naked head issue. Yes, their stats are amazing, but who can level a minotaur when NPCs will rape him if they aim upper, and why would anyone have a GM minotaur when even the weakest, unprepared characters can simply break him by aiming upper?

What I propose:

Solution 1:
Give them Toughness. This way the huge disadvantage of them not being able to wear head-pieces will not be somewhat smaller.

or

Solution 2:
Do what you did with centaurs when you gave them bardiches and griffons with the implementation of talon-gripped equipment. Implement helmets that can adjust on a horned head.

I still demand teat cups

NPCs don't aim upper!

How hard is it to build a helmet that has slots on the sides to go around the horns?

This

Because dulrik said no?

Yeah...every time an armor smith tries to make a helm for a minotaur, Dulrik appears and kills them, then junks the helm.

Oh, right. Cause it's so much more preferable to have a race that's completely unplayable by anyone.

New skill : Rage

Minotaurs cannot wear helms but when struck on the head have a chance to enter a fit of rage. On entering rage they get an extra attack and cannot be damaged again on the head.

ROAR!

New skill: Rage

Minotaurs cannot wear helms on their head, and when struck on the head have a 100% chance to make the player of their character to enter a fit of rage, because every time it happens they are reminded that they were stupid enough to play a minotaur.
