Editing Minotaur (section)

====D&D 4e====
The sad proof that, for all 4e's efforts at trying to undo the pigeonholing effect of race from editions past, it hadn't quite gotten past it yet. Not a mechanically ''bad'' race (few 4e races were), but they were so heavily optimised for close-quarter combat that there was little encouragement besides fluff to be anything other than a melee brute.
