Special Abilities

Immunity to Magic (Ex)

A bronze minotaur is immune to any spell or spell-like ability that allows spell resistance. In addition, certain spells and effects function differently against the creature, as noted: A magical attack that deals electricity damage slows a bronze minotaur (as the slow spell) for three rounds with no saving throw. A magical attack that deals fire damage breaks any slow effect on the bronze minotaur and heals one point of damage for every three points of damage the attack would otherwise deal. If the amount of healing would cause the bronze minotaur to exceed its full normal hit points, it gains any excess as temporary hit points. A bronze minotaur gets no saving throw against fire attacks.

Breath Fire (Su)

A bronze minotaur can breathe fire as a free action on the first round of combat and every other round thereafter. A bronze minotaur's fiery breath shoots from its mouth in a 30 foot cone inflicting 4d6 damage. A DC 17 Reflex save can reduce the damage by half. The save DC is Constitution based.

Tall, dark and powerfully built, the bronze minotaur is an intimidating sight. Standing over 8 feet tall, and weighing nearly 4,000 pounds, it is a massive and impressive guardian. Bronze minotaurs can understand simple commands from their creators. They follow these orders unswervingly.
