Description

Centaurs speak Sylvan and Elven.

Combat

Centaurs usually don't provoke a fight. Their normal response to aggression is swift retreat, perhaps launching a few arrows to discourage pursuit. Against creatures dangerous to their communities, they use much the same tactics, except that about half their number will circle around to lie in ambush or attack the foe from the rear.

Centaur Characters

Centaurs sometimes become bards, rangers, or druids. Their favored class is ranger. Centaur rangers often choose a magical beast or some variety of humanoid as their favored enemy. Centaur clerics can choose any two of the following domains: Animal, Good, and Plant.
