05-25-07, 03:17 AM I need to make a centaur based on a mountain goat as a PC race for my next campaign. I am not great at creating races so I thought I would come to you all. MY requirements are as follows:

It must be small sized
it must be 1 (maybe 2) HD
It's abblilities should reflect that it is curious and charismatic by nature
It should have good climbing skills
I would think it would have poinson resistance
LA should be +0 or +1

Other than that use your imagination. The campaign I am designing has all the PC's as monster races. All but one PC race will be small, and all will be ECL 1-2 (pre character class). I might go as high as ECL 3, but I want to avoid it as much as I can.

No, that is really quite far from my intention

So here's a Centaur from SRD, still waiting for my SS to appear:

CENTAURS AS CHARACTERS
A centaur druid is usually a tribe’s designated leader and speaker. Centaur characters possess the following racial traits.
— +8 Strength, +4 Dexterity, +4 Constitution, –2 Intelligence, +2 Wisdom.
—Large size. –1 penalty to Armor Class, –1 penalty on attack rolls, –4 penalty on Hide checks, +4 bonus on grapple checks, lifting and carrying limits double those of Medium characters.
—Space/Reach: 10 feet/5 feet.
—A centaur’s base land speed is 50 feet.
—Darkvision out to 60 feet.
—Racial Hit Dice: A centaur begins with four levels of monstrous humanoid, which provide 4d8 Hit Dice, a base attack bonus of +4, and base saving throw bonuses of Fort +1, Ref +4, and Will +4.
—Racial Skills: A centaur’s monstrous humanoid levels give it skill points equal to 7 x (2 + Int modifier). Its class skills are Listen, Move Silently, Spot, and Survival.
—Racial Feats: A centaur’s monstrous humanoid levels give it two feats.
— +3 natural armor bonus.
— Automatic Languages: Sylvan, Elven. Bonus Languages: Common, Gnome, Halfling.
—Favored Class: Ranger.
—Level adjustment +2.

change size to small, HD to 1 with saves fort +1 Ref +1 Will +0, Loose the natural armor bonus, keep the Darkvision, loose the reach, make the move 30', and change the abbility scores to something like:
+2 Dex, +2 Cha, -2 Wis
add the head butt 1d4, and give it a racial mod to climb or something like +4. Is that anywhere close to LA+1
