The Compleat Beastman 1: Centaurs (d20)
Journey into a world of new possibilities. Where you can become more than a mere man. This is the first issue in the Compleat Beastman series. Every issue is dedicated to an archetype of half-man¸ half-animal hybrids. In this case we're starting with the most iconic species of all¸ the centaur.
In other games beastmen like the centaurs get relegated to serving as mindless NPC fodder for the players to fight. Not here. You get PC options for playing as a centaur in OSR games¸ 5E games and even Shawn Tomkins' brilliant Ironsworn RPG. This includes an OSR class in the flavor of James M. Spahn's White Star¸ as well as a racial write-up for 5E and three brand new Ironsworn Asset cards.
You get a deeper look into how centaurs live¸ including their settlements¸ customs and social structure. And yes¸ there is a section on battle tactics.
Nathan Treme¸ of In the Light of a Ghost Star fame¸ created a hex flower map for this issue. It's seven hexes of his trademark art and is suitable for dropping into any campaign. A full four pages of descriptions¸ including quest hooks¸ NPCs¸ factions¸ and more¸ as well as an encounter table¸ round out this section.
For those of you who like a little sci-fi in your fantasy¸ there's even a centaur spaceship¸ all statted up and ready to drop into your White Star game.
Lastly¸ we've included 10 printable A-frame paper minis for you to use.
