The difference between: Unarmed strike, which is not a weapon attack and does damage of 1 + Strength modifier And A horn attack which is a weapon attack and does 1d6 + Strength modifier A potential of dealing 600% better damage is significant. I don’t know if the weapon vs. non-weapon...

I think it came from earlier editions or Ed Greenwood if I were to guess. Forgotten Realms Gray Box maybe? Back in AD&D days humanoids were monsters and demihumans were elves, dwarves, etc. so I’m used to those. But I do prefer goblinkin myself. Giantkin too. And unlike later editions, I still...

Absolutely. All of which applies to my campaign too...except the fey part. They are, after all, a warlike race that has routinely threatened human, dwarven and elven settlements, often in cooperation with other goblinkin, orcs, ogres, etc. And as to whether they’d change them, I wouldn’t be so...

I agree with that, each DM’s campaign should be their own. And Dark Sun is a great example of altering the nature of many things to suit the setting. As it should be. My objection revolves around changing the baseline from edition to edition, within the core and also within the given settings.

My issue doesn’t stem from what they might be in other historical sources, but as they were defined in D&D. The same reason why elves will never have anything to do with eladrin in my campaign. I don’t recall 4e changing goblins to fey, but after 20+ years of goblins being what they are, I...

Isn't having a natural weapon that does significant damage better than not having a natural weapon that does significant damage? I wouldn't consider that a ribbon ability.

As you note, it's more than just length/height, though. It's bulk or weight as well. Not to mention being a quadruped vs. biped. An adult horse typically weighs 800 to over 2,000 lbs. Try using a shove attempt against that as a human in the midst of combat. If the issue is that you don't want...

That sounds pretty cool, and much more along the lines of what I'd try to do if I was going in that direction. And it makes sense, the size of the weapon wielded is dependent upon the physical traits of the creature, and although a centaur as a whole is large, the weapon-wielding portion (the...
