The centaur

The Centaura are an extremely proud and strong-willed demi-humanoid race with the upper body of a humanoid and the lower body of a horse. Herbivores, centaurs are normally found in grasslands and savannas, and are a race of nomads who become brave warriors in times of conflict. Their civilization is ancient, by far the oldest of all the humanoid races known to mankind.

Centaur traits

• Ability Score Increase: Your Strength score increases by 2.
• Age: Centauroi experience rapid maturity, reaching physical maturity at age 3, so they are unlikely to live past 60-70 years.
• Alignment: Prone to maintaining ancient patterns and traditions while simultaneously defying formal societal order, centaurs tend toward neutrality in all regards.
• Size: Most centaurs stand between 6 and 7 feet tall. Your size is medium.
• Speed: Your base walking speed is 40 feet.
• Hungry: You must eat four times as much, or four times as frequently, as a human. You must also drink twice as much or twice as frequently as a human. Failure to do so incurs starvation or dehydration.
• Hunter's Arms: From your life of hunting and surviving in the wilds, you have proficiency with the Longbow and the Longsword. You also have proficiency in one skill: Athletics, Perception, Nature, or Survival.

• Trampling Charge. If you move at least 20 ft. straight toward a creature and then hit it with a melee attack on the same turn, that target must succeed on a Strength saving throw with a DC of 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength modifier or be knocked prone. If the target is prone, you may make a hooves attack against that creature as a bonus action, dealing an additional 3 (1d6) damage on top of the ordinary damage of the attack.
• Hooves: You are never unarmed and are proficient in your hooves, which are a melee weapon with a 5 ft range that deals 1d6 damage.
• Ungainly. Because of your body structure, you cannot easily ride another animal as a steed. Rather, you are considered to be mounted without the ability to dismount. You may only mount a steed that is at least two sizes larger than you and can support you while you are standing or kneeling.
• Unlikely Clothing. Normal articles don't fit you, and your people do not typically clothe or armor themselves in the wild. Any garments you wish to wear must be custom-made with a material cost equal to the base item plus 50%. This does not include any service fee a craftsman may charge you.
• Languages. You can speak, read, and write in Common, Elven and Sylvan.
• Subspecies. There are three centaur subspecies, from which you must choose one.

Destrider Centaur

The destrider species are by far the most prevalent and wide-spread Centaur ethnicity, representing countless individuals across the world. They are known for their natural survival skills and agility. They can best be thought of as the moderates of their race, and it has served them well. They recognize and value culture and society, but also recognize and value independence and freedom. They are the most populous of their kind, accounting for the vast majority and organizing themselves into huge migratory herds.

• Nature Wanderer. Choose one environment (Swamp, Forest, Desert, Hill, Mountain and etc.). You have advantage in Perception and Investigation rolls related to that environment, plus you always know your way through that area and gain 10 feet speed while there.

Courser Centaur

Courser centaurs, known also as racing centaurs, are a centaur subspecies that excels at running. They are smaller than standard centaurs, with slimmer and tighter bodies. Though they approach their rank and records with a stoic attitude and love running, they are easily injured, and they devote much of their attention to studying health care. They can be rather moody, but this can be attributed to timidity or physical and mental innocence. Since their bodies are not as large, neither are their breasts. Lightweight centaurs most often serve as scouts and messengers, but some also perform delicate work like tailoring or peddling. Given their necessary attention to health care, some lightweights also serve as doctors and therapists for their community.

• Normalized. Your eating habits resemble those of a human.
• Nimble Frame. Whenever you take the Dodge action during combat, your AC increases by 2 until the start of your next turn.
• Health Knowledge. You have proficiency in the Medicine skill.
