Which is sometimes good, sometimes bad.Being immune to Hold Person and being immune to possession via Magic Jar sound like advantages to me. You can still cast a Magic Jar; being non-humanoid just makes you immune to possession via somebody else's jar.Being immune to Reincarnation is a bit of a bummer, but don't die, and it isn't a problem. Fortunately, Raise Dead and Resurrection are both OK.Non-humanoids can't be animated via a vanilla Animate Dead and Create Undead spells. A strict reading of the rules also suggest that a centaur should be immune to Calm Emotions, Charm Person, and Dominate Person. None of these seem like disasters for a PC. In fact, these seem like advantages or at worst irrelevant. How often are PCs the target of Animate Dead?Non-humanoids are also immune to some standard diseases. Which also seems like a bonus. But, I guess a centaur could get Equine influenza, or something, instead.The biggest problems centaurs are likely to have (as others have noted) is social interactions and manoeuvring indoors, up ladders, etc. Then again, being literally hung like a horse might not be considered a social impediment...</blockquote>
