Charge. If the minotaur moves at least 10 feet straight toward a target and then hits it with a gore attack on the same turn, the target takes an extra 9 (2d8) piercing damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 14 Strength saving throw or be pushed up to 10 feet away and knocked prone.
Labyrinthine Recall. The minotaur can perfectly recall any path it has traveled.
Reckless. At the start of its turn, the minotaur can gain advantage on all melee weapon attack rolls it makes during that turn, but attack rolls against it have advantage until the start of its next turn.
Greataxe. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 17 (2d12 + 4) slashing damage.
Gore. Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (2d8 + 4) piercing damage.
Description
Their fur stained with the blood of fallen foes, minotaurs are massive, bull-headed humanoids whose roar is a savage battle cry that all civilized creatures fear.

Posted Jun 29, 2019I do a lot of home-brew with new people and I find that if I use a minotaur it takes too long to kill it because it has big health and noob players

Posted Sep 28, 2019I think it’s because in the lore of dnd, Minotaurs are related too and worship baphomet who is a demon lord of the abyss.

Posted Feb 29, 2020[REDACTED] A Minotaur can one hit a level 3 character and has well over double the health of any level 3 character. I put one against 3 people and it killed every single one of them barely taking any damage. If anything Minotaurs should be higher Cr then they are

Posted Mar 1, 2020Based on their calculation system from the DMG they should have a lower CR.

Posted Mar 2, 2020Based on the dmg, which is just a guideline. I understand your want to follow the books but sometimes they just aren’t realistic or balanced at all.

Posted Mar 3, 2020I'm actually wrong...doh...I recalculated again and the minotaur averages at CR 2.5 (Offensive/Defensive) so it rounded up, it is a CR 3 creature.
