[QUOTE="Zerovoid, post: 272529, member: 283"] Well, I could quote the DMG rules in the section Monsters As Races. These rules tell you how to create a centaur character. It seems to me that a centaur is a centaur, and it doesn't matter if you start out as one, or become one due to reincarnation. Anyway, that is how I would rule it in my game. The spell description posted above incudes: The reincarnated character does gain any powers or abilities associated with his new form, including forms of movement and speeds, natural armor, natural attacks, etc. I would consider the 4 hit dice to fall into that category, since all centuars have them, simply because they are big and burly centaurs. Anyway, you can interpret the spell either way. I played in a game that used your interpretation. I brought the issue up, but the DM said he would rather just use the stat modifiers so the character didn't need an ECL. Since the character was a wizard, the +8 to Str wasn't really unbalanced.
