[QUOTE="Drathir, post: 5363796, member: 87810"] First the party needs to be Level 3, the centaurs Cr. Second as frankthedm pointed out they get +4 str con dex and wis with a +2 cha. After that they play just like a lvl 3 PC, however since racial hd are weak (yes you need to take those 4 racial hd but they count as ur lvl 1-3 class lvls) Paizo suggests giving the monster a small boost as they level, ie an extra free class level, for a centaur the suggested extra levels is 1. this level is gained free without penalty at some point between Character Level 5 and 6 (note that the centaur still counts as a level 5 until he/she gains 6th at which point its a lvl 6 character) so lets look at the numbers with out all the text "Lvl 3" PC Centaur: the centaur from the bestiary (with modified stats if you're nice enough to let them roll/buy more than 10s and 11s) "Lvl 4": Centaur +1 class level (I think he/she would gain their lvl 4 bonus stat here, but that part isnt too clear, the core says when "Character Level" is four u get the bonus and since the Centaur now counts as a lvl 4 PC... well your call on when these bonuses and the like happen) "Lvl 5": Centaur +2 class lvls (and lvl 5 feat, if lvl 4 is right) "lvl 5.5": gains a third class lvl and nething that would entail on the class chart NOTHING ELSE "lvl 6": Gains another level and is forever more a normal 6th lvl PC So in the end at Level 6 the Centaur has 4 racial hd from base monster and 4 class levels (lvl 4, 5, bonus and lvl 6 in that order) and is a 6th level PC. Now the whole 2 feats thing (improved init and run) its up to you whether they have to keep them, they both have uses (especially with a 50' spd) and that is what all other centaurs usually have [B][U]BUT[/U][/B] Pcs aren't normal a Pc Aasimar doesn't need to be NG but should have a reason as to why he/she isn't so the same thing could easily be said of the feats. Treat Centaur as more of a template and they get the two feats as is treat it as a race and they should be allowed to choose which two to take ur decision. Ill admit im not the authority on this sort of things and my interpretation may be wrong but thats how i understand it. [/QUOTE]
