    For some reason any time I have ever brought up playing a centaur, every DM always shoots it down either saying its a serious campaign or it doesn’t fit the vibe.

    I’m not sure what everyone has against them so I’ve assumed they’re either broken somehow or that someone will attempt the centaur stacking shenanigans.

      if centaurs are common i’d have to think about centaur compatible cities, houses, baths and what not, and tbh my cities, houses baths and whatnots are barely human compatible.

      if they are super rare you’d constantly be left behind outsides of buildings because you dont fit on a spiral staircase or you’ve got thrown out of the tavern because your clopping annoyed the other guests, hell evey npc interaction would probably involve explaining the strange horse dude to someone. nope no centaurs, we can compromise on satyrs, teacup minotaurs or inverted merefolk. two legs maximum, sorry.

      By asking to play a centaur, you’re either declaring that your character will be constantly naked from the waist down, or opening the can of worms that is “what would centaur pants even look like?”
