I am using the Advanced Race Guide to build a new race, one focused on Taurians, or Minotaurs as most know them. I would like thoughts on whether or not the following is a first level character that might be too powerful or is just right for an advanced race. A player of mine actually has this build at 8th level right now, and I have attached the stats for the 8th level below as well. I used In the Company of Minotaurs as a reference for minotaur player characters. I also used HeroLab to build the race. Between the ARG and Herolab, they have allowed us to do some cool things. Have also attached the .por file. I chose not to use the entire points for the build, as I thought if I did the character would be way too powerful.
