Homebrew Centaurine Species Details

Powerful and curious, quick to act and knowledgeable of the wider world, centaurs seek to experience life's boundless bounty. Centaurs gallop throughout the multiverse and trace their origins to many different realms. The centaurs presented here hail from the Feywild and mystically resonate with the natural world. 

Centaurs have the upper bodies, down to the waist, of muscular humans, displaying all the human variety of skin tones and features. Their ears are slightly pointed, but their faces are wider and squarer than those of elves. Below the waist, they have the bodies of small horses, with a similar range of coloration - from various shades of chestnut or bay to dappled or even zebra like striped patterns. Most centaurs style their hair and their tails in a similar way.

Size

Centaurs stand between 6 and 7 feet tall, with their equine bodies reaching about four feet in the withers. Your size is Medium.

Fey

Your creature type is Fey, rather than humanoid.

Charge

If you move at least 30 feet straight toward a target and then hit it with a melee weapon attack on the same turn, you can immediately follow that attack with a bonus action, making one attack against the target with your hooves.

Hooves

Your hooves are natural melee weapons, which you can use to make unarmed strikes. If you hit with them, you deal bludgeoning damage equal to 1d4 + your Strength modifier, instead of the bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed strike.

Equine Build

You count as one size larger when determining your carrying capacity and the weight you can push or drag.

In addition, any climb that requires hands and feet is especially difficult for you because of your equine legs. When you make such a climb, each foot of movement costs you 4 extra feet, instead of the normal 1 extra foot.

Languages

You can speak, read, and write Common and Sylvan.
