Centaurs dwell in secluded pastures, far from human habitation. Roving bands of these creatures always carry weapons, and leaders will carry shields. Half of the centaurs in a band will be armed with oaken clubs 9equal to morning star, 1-8 or 1-6 hit points damage/attack), one-quarter will have composite long bows and 10-30 arrows (24" range, 1-6 hit points damage/attack), and the remaining quarter will be leaders (AC 4) with shield and lance (1-8 or 2-24 hit points damage/attack). Leaders will have double treasure. In melee each centaur attacks two times, once with his weapon and then as a horse with his two fore hooves.
If centaurs are encountered in their lair it will be a hidden glen with rich grass and running water, there will be found 1-6 additional males, females equal to twice the number of males, and young from 5-30 in number. Females (3 hit dice) and young (1-3 hit dice) do not use weapons and will only fight with their hooves in a life and death situation. If the females and young are threatened, the centaurs will be 90% likely to ransom them with their main treasure. They speak their own language and that of their alignment.
Centaurs are not generally friendly with humans or dwarves; they tolerate gnomes and halflings; they are friendly with elves and like wood elves.
