Maybe against Winter Wolves (50' movement) or something in tight-but-not-difficult terrain, if there were sufficiently-many wolves.Also, gaining the "no opportunity attacks and no issues with difficult terrain" is more difficult than just gaining 50' of movement. For example, 40' movement becomes 50' movement by application of Longstrider, or 80' movement by application of Expeditious Retreat.Centaurs wouldn't be gaining anything in kiting capability that wasn't already readily-available.</blockquote>
