Centaur Characters

Centaurs... are part of the Greek myth and have long been a monster in Dungeons and Dragons. They were an option in Dungeons and Dragons 2nd Edition Humanoids Handbook. More recently they are character options in Ravnica and Theros. Often they are associated with speed, archery, woodlands, pride and chaos.

They are a good option for a characters with a bit more speed. They can trample foes under charging hooves. With their strength they make fine fighters, barbarians and also decent druids or clerics. The opening up of worlds from Magic: the Gathering such as Theros and Ravnica have brought them into dnd 5e.

Here are tables for character traits, ideals, bonds and flaws. Last is a table for centaur call of the wild
