Races of the Realms: Minotaurs - The Dungeoncast Ep.120

[@shamusfarmer]

The ancient Greeks drank undiluted, super strong wine that they then added water too. I'd imagine minotaurs prefer that, minus the water.

[@christianfinken6433]

Exchange the water with human blood and your good to go :D

[@shamusfarmer]

@@christianfinken6433 That's so racist against minotaurs...

[@christianfinken6433]

You know what a minotaur is right? xD Eating people is kinda their reason for existing. They are Monsters not missunderstood creatures or some bs like that. And I can not possibly be racist against a race that does not exist...

[@toshomni9478]

Fantastic video. I like seeing Minotaurs more like Taurens from WoW. Some might see them as evil because of their alliances or whatever but they have a lot of honor and basically just want to survive in a world where humans or other races are very hostile towards them.

[@torobravo6147]

Fun fact: The Minotaur was put in the labyrinth as an infant and just became a monster due to time and isolation and getting fed with humans.

[@InquisitorThomas]

Shout out to Baphomet, nobody's favorite Demon Lord. Nah, that probably goes to Fraz-Urb'luu

[@dannyjacobusse]

I love Baphomet, I have a bad ass custom mini

[@InquisitorThomas]

dannyjacobusse His artwork in Mordenkainen's is fucking awesome, I can't say I dislike any of the demon lords that are currently stated, but I feel like Baphomet is one of the arguably weaker when it comes to being a villain, I feel like he'd be awesome to fight at as high level side quest, but I don't think he can play the role as the central BBEG like some of the other demon lords like Orcus.

[@EmethMatthew]

Yeah, I think the Church of Satan might disagree about their love of Baphomet...

[@Silver644]

Just started getting into D&D lore pretty heavily the past 2 weeks when i was invited to a group which hasnt happened yet but im excited. just wanted to say thanks for all the awesome content and filling my cranium with all sorts of lore and backgrounds

[@kenneth6989]

Welcome to the family brother wait till you find out you can go into space What some old books

[@fbauzo024fb]

Rewatching this episode for the fourth time. Luv it. Helped create my 1st character. I use the 4e lore and have young adults go on a "rumspringa" to see if he can control his inner demon.

[@himboghost629]

No one: Not a single soul: 32:19 : im not feeling so well

[@InquisitorThomas]

Another interesting fact about Theseus, he and his friend wanted to marry the most beautiful women in the world, so he kidnapped Helen of Troy, (who was twelve at the time) and his friend wanted to marry Persephone, so they travelled to the underworld to kidnap Persephone, and they met Hades who invited them to dinner, and proceeded to bind them to the chairs to be tortured for all time.

[@aubreyackermann8432]

Bound them with live snakes that fused them to their chairs, no less. They deserved it, too.

[@aubreyackermann8432]

Bound them with live snakes that fused them to their chairs, no less. They deserved it, too. Also, Theseus was eventually freed by Heracles.

[@T0b03]

Coming in to say love you work, it's really helpful to new DMs and getting ideas for encounters and monsters etc. One thing cows have horns. It is more dependant on breed than sex. A bovine animal without horns is cased as naturally polled.

[@ashofcreativity7585]

One of my West Marches players just asked to play a minotaur; perfect timing, and great episode!

[@paulh3892]

How did it go? Did your player have udders?

[@mattrondeau2]

"basically, Minos the king of Crete pissed of Poseidon, so Poseidon cursed his wife to fuck a cow" You should do another channel where you just summarize mythology. That was fucking hilarious

[@DeedeeDirt]

I can't wait for my party to hear the mysterious music coming from the mortifying mausoleum !

[@Redbloodthewise]

Guys you made a few mistakes there but like Obi-Wan Kenobi that's why I'm here. Ok first off theseus the Greek hero was intending to marry the princess but she was already promised to a god of the Olympus and was told to leave her on an island so that dionysus could find her and in his grief theseus forgot to change the sails.

[@aubreyackermann8432]

But kidnapping ten year old Helen of Troy as a child bride to groom, then helping his buddy in an attempt to kidnap and rape Persephone most definitely make him an asshole.

[@jdrvargo287]

@@aubreyackermann8432 True. Though that was far later in life when he did all that, when he was in his 50's. The minotaur stuff happened when he was either 18 or in his early 20's. Theseus' life was one of heroic and beneficent deeds in his youth, and then a gradual slide into douchebaggery in his later life.

[@kenneth6989]

This is one of my favorite races to play

[@DeedeeDirt]

I'm pretty sure some breeds of cows have horns btw

[@yy20gaming90]

I was like wait a minute I haven't watched one of dungeoncasts videos? Then I realize it has only been out for an hour lol

[@EmethMatthew]

With this Minotaur episode and now the new Centaur episode, I might have to incorporate some first Narnia movie style Minotaur and Centaur warriors fighting it out.

[@ernestlam5632]

12:33 10 ten year olds can definety take out an adult man. Assuming they are equally motivated and the ten year olds are working together.

[@michaelcohen8259]

Very timely to receive this. I'm running a minotaur character right now.

[@confuseddullahan5046]

Major question... for passive skills ... can you have a passive intimidation? I would think it would work well for a race like this.

[@tishabyte]

Proficient in labyrinths. lol No dad I want to worship Bahamut. You get out of my house right now this is a Baphomet family. Hahahahaha

[@erikwilliams1562]

My boys got nerfed as a PC in 5e...

[@Aquafrostsheke]

I wish there was a video game where you could play as a Minotaur. Like an rpg but with like hulk ultimate destruction melee kinda I dunno. I dunno for being a cow man it’s a cool monster that I wish got more attention.

[@tomforge614]

Honestly, I find the idea of a minotaur race being proficient in intimidation kind of funny, when you realize wild minotaurs have expertise in perception.

[@dragonlord498]

ya the dragonlance minotaurs are quite cool if i make a minotaur character likely based on a dragonlance one too some extent also its somewhat cool how thier 2 main deities despite being opposing sides are constantly trying to kill each other compared to most of the other opposing deities

[@william0j]

i could see some wild Minotaurs rising their childs, but i dont think it would be some father/son relation, provably something more of a master/student relation im wich the master would beat the living shit out of the student if it mess up

[@MiloshFitzroy]

Finally! I was waiting for this video

[@paulh3892]

If your female minotaurs don’t have a home brew ability to make milk-potions (like in Zelda games) X number of times per day, then you’re missing out at your table! 🐄

[@curtisfranzen986]

I had a minotaur named Ferdinand as an NPC in a campaign I ran a few decades ago. Ferdi was goodly, very helpful, and a beast in comdat. IDK where these guys get 7' tall 350 lbs from, that's just Shaq. I always assume that minotaurs are much larger than humans. Also, does anyone remember Kas from the " Dragonlance" series?

[@OthEdden]

I played a 4e minotaur named Poyban who was a paladin of Pelor. If there was an Oath of Redemption he would have followed that.

[@_bats_]

You didn't use "mazes" in the intro? I'm shocked! Edit: I don't really do podcasts but I like watching all your content on KZbin!

[@FallenRingbearer]

I'm kinda sad you didn't bring up Taladas when talking about Krynn Minotaurs.

[@danielrunefors5001]

Minotaur in Dragon Lance is Romen Empire.

[@Licjr]

Keking Meme I see them as this weird blend of the Roman Empire and the British Empire because of the seafaring stuff

[@FallenRingbearer]

Check out the Taladas offshoot. More Roman than Rome.

[@draxthemsklonst]

Ravnica minotaur side character, Grimbly Wothis in the following short story (for flavor/inspiration): magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/magic-story/under-cover-fog-2018-10-10

[@123456789yeti]

NONE OF THE MINOTAUR PLAYER OPTIONS FROM ANY PUBLISHED SOURCEBOOKS GIVES MINOTAUR POWERFUL BUILD!! I honestly never noticed before because HOW!?! so technically a bugbear, firbolg, goliath or orc of equivalent str score would overpower and outlift a minotaur which feels wrong... maybe the goliaths but everything else??

[@GrimReaper-dh8yc]

I hope you guys do an episode on Sahuagin.

[@jdrvargo287]

He didn't leave the black sails up on purpose, he simply forgot to change them to white.

[@rpm297]

Why can I see them shacking up with their girlfriends in a trailer park, drinking beer all day while tuning up their oversized pick up trucks with steer horns on the hood? Hey... where are you going?

[@Donkeyearsa]

There are RPG players that will not play with players who want to play as any post 1980s races if they are DMing or as a player. For them to play you are required to play as a elf, dwarf, human, halfling, or half elf and are forbiden to play as anything else. Unfortunately that is the kind of games I can find. So I'm banned from playing as I just out right love the idea of playing as a Minotuar. This consept of Minotaur being sailers is out right ridiculous. First the idea of a Minotaur being able to stay on a ship that is wet and extremely slippery with hooves climing over a ships rigging is far beyond being ridiculous. Then there is the idea of Minotaur being able to swim. It would make sence for Minotaur eing afraid of deep water as they cant swim but will sink to the bottom of any body of water. The only kind of boats I could see Minotaur using are boats that are rowed where they stay in place until the boat hits the shore and bottoms out.

[@beowulfodinson9230]

Your podcasts are great, and they help a lot when I'm world building or planning things for my campaign. Have you guys considered Tumblr? I think you could find some good use in it as a blog for smaller bits of information you can't fit into videos, or perhaps there isn't enough information about for a video but you still would like to share.

[@wolfdeason]

Minator drunken monk

[@reasonablehiccups4792]

12:00 The d&d 5e CR is really inaccurate I had my party fight a CR 11 frost giant at level one and low and behold after a few death savings, nat 20’s and several rounds of combat the frost giant died and all my players came out of it alive

[@toshomni9478]

A lot depends on the luck of die rolls. It's probably a good idea to always have a few lower level monsters in reserve to throw in as reinforcements if things go too easily on a party.

[@julierose689]

From my experience that's just Stormkings Thunder.

[@EmethMatthew]

CR is inaccurate, especially if the giant was solo against your players and the PCs are fresh (didn't fight 4 other battles in the same game day to deplete their resources) and your players actually have some tactics or min-maxed characters. Plus most giants in 5e just seem hopelessly underpowered.

[@dicorockhimself]

Than there's hydras lol

[@gustaafargoan]

I'm Dm'ing for a party of 7. I have a 4th level Paladin, a 3rd level Gloomstalker Ranger/1st level Rogue, a 4th level Moon Druid, a 2nd level Barbarian/2nd level Fighter, a 4th level Barbarian, 2 twins that are 4th level Divine Soul Sorcerers and a 4th level Bear Totem Barbarian. I can't win this match.

[@andrewblack2596]

Baphomet is a goat and the Greeks had nothing to do with satan.🐐

[@jackalopex0118]

They were speaking into dnd lore when talking about baphomet I believe

[@TKFKU]

You went over Dragonlance Minotaurs yet failed to touch on Taladas? You did know there is a difference between the ones Kaz came from and the Minotaurs of the Minotaur League? Or did WOTC just nerf them into one thing now?

[@slewone4905]

F a cow???? YOu mean Bull.

[@edwardbranum]

A cows horn isn't that sharp think more like a ball-pian hammer with a thousand pounds of force behind it lol

[@kyristhepaladin7128]

Yeah minotaurs are the wierdst navigators

[@alexandersage6261]

I think you mixed yak folk into your description

[@Metanaut1]

There are female cows with horns

[@billrich9722]

Species*

[@weare7043]

Yeah I’m sorry to tell you, but you don’t know Greek literature as well as you think you do. That was a raw lazy drunk high school teacher’s version of Thesius if you want to say that I guess you could... but you should def read more Greek mythology before trying to educate people on it :P

[@weare7043]

Yeah I’m sorry to tell you, but you don’t know Greek literature as well as you think you do. That was a raw lazy drunk high school teacher’s version of Thesius if you want to say that I guess you could... but like... read before spouting opinions xD
