New Subrace

Okay, this may seem a little far-fetched, but here goes:
Minotaurs
As standard human except:
+6 STR, +6 CON, -8 INT, -6 CHA
+3 Fortitude save
+2 dodge bonus to AC
-4 to hide
-2 attack rolls
Must be chaotic
ECL: 4
Languages: Common and animal.
I built this one off the half-giant build. A slighly better warrior race. What do you think?
I know I'd play it if it was available

Not sure, I mean now half-ogres are introduced and it seems strange ogres wandering around Hlint, and none take the ogre's as a threat because "It glows blue or green"
Layonara already have lots of other races as well! But minotour sounds good...

It'd be kinda weird to have a lot of minotaurs running around. Maybe they could be limited like the Wemics are?

I believe this race is too far fetched. Here are the true PnP modifications to a Minotaur:
+8 Strength +4 Constitution -4 Intelligence -2 Charisma
-1 to AC -4 on Hide checks
Darkvision +5 Natural Armour Gore attack (1d8)
ECL +2
So as you can see they are extremely and rudely overpowered for any class really, except wizards. Not to mention that they are a Chaotic Evil race and are normally always in underground labyrinths (A minotaur normally stays hidden within). So no, I dont think its a viable race, just doesn't make much sense for them to be wondering out there away from their tunnels and are simply just too powerful.
Now what I wouldn't mind getting behind is some more of the fey races like satyrs and centaurs.

What about afflicted and natural Lycanthropes?
The only ones that would be possible, because of the rules, would be werebear (LG), weretiger(TN), wereboar(TN), and dire wereboar(TN).
Although the ECLs for natural Lycanthropes are usually greater than five. (not sure about afflicted)

Another cool one would be the Illithid, or Mind Flayer. Not going to happen though.
As normal human except:
+8 INT, -5 CHA, -4 STR
+2 Will saving throw
Psionic Stun Attack 10th level
Extract Brain 20th level
Must be neutral
ECL 3

I thought illithid was something more ridiculous for an ECL, like ECL 5 or 7

Personally I'd prefer satyrs or maybe gnolls, I've always liked their shaman, hunting culture. Gnolls are a lot like Wemics I think, although maybe a bit more evil in nature.

I'd love to see centaurs in game. I think that would be pretty sweet to play around with. Also, maybe part dryads or part nymphs? I thiink I read about them somewhere, although if they showed up in the game i can't imagine they would be to common.

Satyrs and Centaurs would be very nice to see as a playable race.

Genasi would be pretty sweet. Also, they aren't overpowering, so that would be a good thing to get in here.

Yeah I really like the Genasai idea, even if the satyrs seem cool too. Genasai have always been very interesting to me.
