− | |description =
| |
− | Centaurs are a race of woodland beings which are part human and part horse.
| |
− | They have the upper torso, arms, and head of a human, and the lower body of
| |
− | a large, powerful horse. Centaurs are considered primitive by many
| |
− | 'civilized' races, as their society is tribal and very animistic. They
| |
− | are, however, some of the most competent bowmen and hunters in the realm.
| |
− | | |
− | Their horse bodies are strong and healthy, though they can be awkward in
| |
− | tight spaces. Centaurs are at home in the open grasslands, hills, and
| |
− | forests, and they fight well there; they get uncomfortable when they can't
| |
− | see the sky.
| |
− | | |
− | Because of their body structure, centaurs cannot wear boots or most normal
| |
− | metal body armour. Suits of centaur-shaped barding can be found or forged,
| |
− | however, as can horseshoes.
| |
− | | |
− | Their strong association with the natural world leaves centaurs with a set
| |
− | of bones and hooves that weaken quickly after death.
| |
− | | |
− | As half-horse creatures, centaur have a number of advantages. Their strong
| |
− | backs are suitable for carrying extra gear, as well as riders - centaurs
| |
− | can 'permit' almost anyone with the ride skill to mount up on their backs.
| |
− | Their extra legs give them the leverage needed to wield large (two-handed)
| |
− | weapons in one hand. They sometimes use those same legs to attack, getting
| |
− | extra hoof-strikes on their opponents. Lastly, centaurs are natural
| |
− | runners, and can often keep running even when wounded.
