Does the roving ability mean that the negative of having an Equine Build is moot?
I ask because I love the idea of my centaur sprinting up a wall.
Do you mean having a climb speed? Yes. Equine Build modifies the speed penalty for climbing, but when you use a climb speed, you ignore your penalty. However, climb speeds don't let anyone, including centaurs, sprint up walls - that is, you still need to touch the wall with your hands if you needed to without a climb speed, just as you still need to pass any Athletics checks the DM calls for.
OK. That is what I thought . Thanks. (And I was being silly about actually sprinting, but best to be accurate in these posts so thanks for that as well.)
