Anyone know if actual stats are to be found (and where) for a PC Centaur?
If not would the following attribute modifiers be acceptable and in-line with the standard race modifiers found in the PHB? Thanks all in advance.

+2 Str
+2 Con (maybe just +1)
-1 Dex
-1 Int
-1 Wis

Complete Book of Humanoids is probably your best bet.

(AFB atm, sorry)

I'll post the info in 8 hours, when I get home and get the book.

No need to wait that long, one Complete Book of Humanoids coming up righto!

Skipping flavour text, just the low-down:

Centaur

Base Starting Age: 18
Age Variable: 1d4
Maximum Age: 75+2d20
Average Maximum Age: 95
Middle Age: 37; Old Age: 50; Venerable: 75

Ability modifiers: +1 CON, +1 WIS, -2 DEX
Ability limits: STR 11-18; DEX 3-16; CON 11-18; INT 3-16; WIS 4-18; CHA 3-18

Class restrictions (max level):
Fighter - 12; Ranger - 10; Mage - 12; Druid - 14; Shaman - 7; Bard - 12; others unavailable.

Hit Dice as per class, +4 bonus Hit Points at first level.
Tend toward neutral or chaotic good; PC centaurs may be any alignment but tend toward these.
Natural AC: 5
Languages: Centaur, elvish, common

Special Advantages:
3 melee attacks per round, 1 with weapon, two with front hooves, latter do 1-6 damage each.
Armed with a lance, can charge for double damage, but no hoof attack that round.
Disadvantages:
Take damage as Large creatures; slight difficulty negotiating underground settings.
Monstrous Traits: Appearance
Superstitions: Fear of dragons and giants, see omens and portents in nature.
Weapon Proficiencies: Composite longbow, medium horse lance, great club.
NWPs: Animal lore, agriculture, animal noise, armorer, artistic ability, bowyer/fletcher, brewing, drinking, eating, fishing, hunting, leatherworking, natural fighting, running, set snares, survival (forest), tracking, weaving, winemaking.
WPs and NWPs must be taken from this list on character creation, unless DM fiat allows something else.



For comparison on what would be in line, the +2 STR +2 CON you suggested is what the Complete book gives to Ogres. In general, a +2 ability modifier in AD&D would be probably equivalent to a +4 or +5 in 3E, in terms of rarity.
