Chevall

Okay, here's a very rough conversions from the 2E Mystara Monstrous Compendium appendix.
Note: I know generally nothing about Mystara other than a few Creature Crucibles and the MC. Also, this conversion may have glaring errors in it as it was done to help alleviate some late-night insomnia, so please point out any errors you see .

The creature appears to be an elven version of a centaur, with a humanoid upper torso atop the lower body of a horse. It stands slightly shorter than a centaur and has noticeably pointy, elven ears. Holding its longbow, ready to strike, it looks over you cautiously, paying the greatest attention to your mounts.
Self proclaimed protectors of all of horse-kind, the chevalls are a race of equine shapeshifters able to change form between a regular light warhorse and a centaur form. They look like centaurs but are slightly shorter and have pointy, elven ears. A chevall is to a light horse as a centaur is to a heavy horse: approximately as large, but taller and weightier than a light horse.
Chevalls speak Common, Sylvan, and Elven.
Combat
Summon Horses (Sp): Once per day, a chevall can summon 1d4 light warhorses with a 100% chance of success. This ability is the equivalent of a 3rd level spell (?).
Charm Horses (Sp): At will, a chevall can cast the equivalent of Charm animal on horses and other equine creatures only, as if cast by a 5th level caster (DC 11). The save is Charisma-based.
Alternate form (Su): A chevall can assume the form of a light warhorse.
Equine Empathy (Ex): Chevalls have an innate bond with their animal friends. Chevalls may speak with horses and similar beasts at will as if they were under a speak with animals spell cast by a 5th level caster. They are also treated as having Wild Empathy for horse creatures only at +7.


Conversion notes:Basically, I based this one strongly off of the centaur, giving it a summon and charm horses ability to represent its magical control over them.
Edit: Revised the stats a bit to differentiate between the chevall and the centaur and added reading text.

Chevall Society
Chevalls, unlike centaurs, are solitary, individualistic creatures, thought they sometimes may gather together in small groups resembling families. Originating in the grasslands, these shape-changers have moved into newer terrain to promote the wellbeing of nature in general and horses in particular. They often actively, sometimes militantly, seek to free their animal cousins from abuse and exploitation of humanoids. It is not uncommon for a chevall to disguise herself as a normal horse to get a glimpse of how the real horses are being treated by their would-be masters.
Although they can any foods a normal humanoid can, most chevall prefer a vegetarian diet, subsisting by foraging in the wilderness. Chevalls are not adverse to contact with other civilized races and sometimes engage in trade for needed tools.

Chevall Characters

Level adjustment +5?

This looks right. The level adjustment of all lycanthropes is +3 and the level adjustment of the centaur is +2, so +5 makes total sense. Thanks for the conversion, plus I'dd like to add that your work on the race is superb!
