Is there a particular reason why you want this version of minotaurs, mechanically? It seems outright superior to existing race options for martial purposes, and has extremely high benefits for pounce damage (up to 1d6+2d4, average 8.5 per hit) which is probably unnecessary. They also seem to be able to trade Endurance up for Deflect Arrows for… some reason?

It also doesn't seem to model traditionally desirable traits for minotaurs very well, like charging people with powerful gores or never getting lost. What's the upshot?

Personally, I think there needs to be a better reason to allow new content into the game instead of just posting it. Personally, it looks like a class that is specialized to just be an awesome barbarian. For now, I'm gonna have to say no.

to be honest i don't actually care about the mechanics of it that much. Its a horned-hoofed bipedal creature that runs fast that is actively on d20pfsrd. Rather then trying to come up with a homebrewed or CR adjusted minotaur which I don't want to deal with or handle.

if you would like i can propose another book but it isnt on the d20pfsrd.

pages 51-52, theres actually 2 options here.
the only note here is the "Tauren" weapons would have to be ignored.

The two Taur options there don't seem too overwhelming at all. The gore attack is fairly weak. The first option has +2 in three stats for -2 in two stats I don't feel thats too imbalanced. Overall its a flavorful race at medium size, I don't see a huge issue there. +1
