Tauren Levels
Tauren can take up to three levels in “tauren” at any time.

Tauren levels stack with a divine spellcasting class level for purposes of determining caster level for spells. If the tauren has two divine spellcasting classes, add the racial levels to the higher of the two. Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Tauren with levels only in Tauren (no actual class levels) are proficient in the use of simple weapons, excluding crossbows, and are able to use light armor. They retain their standard Martial Weapon Proficiency feats.

 : On a charge, a tauren may lower his head and use his horns instead of a melee weapon. Resolve the charge normally. In addition to the usual benefits and hazards of a charge, the tauren horns deliver a single gore attack that deals regular horn damage + 1 1/2 times the tauren’s Strength modifier.

 : A tauren is considered Large for the purpose of making tauren charges and bull rushes. He receives a +4 racial bonus on Strength checks for bull rush attempts.

 : At 2nd and 3rd level, the tauren chooses one weapon from the following list: tauren halberd, tauren totem. He is proficient with the weapon.
