Description
Undead Minotaur: Elemental Rampager is a creature with deep connection to the nature even after it became undead. Feel free to make it not a minotaur or not even undead. You can make it any CR you want, and adjust damage output to your liking, that is what we all here for.
In my setting, minotaurs are very close to elements, they can speak to them, control them at will. Their favoured element is earth, but you can make them connected to whatever you like. Undeath in most cases is still a curse, but a consious one, creatures in my world oftend choose to follow death but afterwards find themselves to be slaves to the will of other powerful entities.
I did not want to make separate statblock for each element. You can add additional resistances for some elements, like resist to cold in Fire Rampage or to poison in Water Rampage. The minotaur is your oyster.
P.S. I know that Arcane is not element, i just needed spellcaster stage. If spellcaster is being too strong, make it so he needs elemental source to cast spells, almost all of them are connected to elements. You can also not use shield. I also didn't add Fireball or Lightningbolt, they are cheap and if you need them - just add them. Add any spell you like.
