Just an idea i had to the minotaur character. Feel free to comment or add suggestions

Regards..

I realy like your concept with the minotaur. I like the idea with him being able to tramble his enemies but not sure what I think about the function it have with adding 1 to strength if he's strenght is higher.

cheers

I wanted to add something like,if you get trampled down, it will be harder for you to strike back, but maybe it should be a little more difficult for the minotaur to trample down enemies i think.

The Minotaur has actually been done before several times. I don't quite remember where to find those versions, but I have a fuzzy memory of it having a "charge" ability.

Charge added to the minotaur's Battle roll for using its horns, something like a +2 or +3, but doing so had a cost, in particular losing its next turn. One limitation was it could not count a Weapon in any Battle in which it charged. Other limitations included...

• You may not use a "Helmet" (and sometimes no "Armour" card) nor any item worn on the head, such as the "Crown."
• If you failed a charge, you could not make any Armour roll of any kind.

And anything sentient that constantly has to attack others, especially always other characters, wouldn't be Neutral.

Has only seen those from 2nd and 3rd edition where the minotaur almost didn´t have any abilities, other than not allowed to wear a helmet, and didn´t want to make the ability too similar to the highlander´s charge. I do think you are right about him not being neutral, and will change that to evil. The thing about not wearing armour was somthing i thought of, but other "big characters" such as the ogre and troll are allowed to, so why not the minotaur? But i think i´ll change it, so that he cannot wear armour, making him more beast like.

All good points. There are always a number of ways to go at any new character idea. I mostly lean on traditional myth/legend/folklore standards, but anything else works in a land like Talisman.

Hi Wizard, I was having an idea for the tramble effect.

• You can tramble characters and enemies in battle. Whenever your attack roll i higher than your opponent, it becomes a 6 result.
• You cannot use armour.
• You need not roll the die in Crags.

Cheers

Now that is nice. I rearly like your changes. I would play a minotauer like that

Thanks a lot brogger, and thanks a lot for helping with the changes. He actually became really good and balanced.

Best regards.

I would suggest one further change. If the Minotaur choose to trample, it may not count any bonuses from Weapons or Followers. It's already too powerful for my tastes when it comes to CvC, and a trample attack would not use those two advantages.

You may be right JC. I think a weapon restriction would do it, as he most likely will use his horns to run over his opponent

The new version..

I agree this this is more balanced - I like it

Thanks
