However, there were alternate (demihuman based) centaur-kin statted up in the AD&D 2nd Ed Monstrous Compendium Annual Volume 2.

I think it was a suggested option in the Cyclopedia of giving druid spells to Elves, instead of MU spells, that flipped the lights on for me. It struck me as an easy way to put the "alien" back in non-humans.<br /><br />Regarding level limits, I've never really liked them; they always struck me as artificial and jarring. We played around with different methods in my AD&D games, and toward the end settled on doubling the EP's needed to advance to levels beyond the limits. (We'd worked out the tables, long since lost.) I honestly don't know what had decided to do with multi-class PCs, though.<br /><br />Hope you feel better soon!Anthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01254215329246851683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290828421410624791.post-5756731060780622242011-08-25T08:28:38.222-05:002011-08-25T08:28:38.222-05:00@Alexander

This is why ...@Alexander<br /><i>They're more holistic?</i><br />This is why I prefer race-as-class...it better emulates the alien mind-set/culture of the demi-humans. The homogeneity of demi-humans vs. the diversity of humanity does this very nicely.FrDavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00459281821319914530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2290828421410624791.post-29618093554668813872011-08-25T08:21:40.779-05:002011-08-25T08:21:40.779-05:00perhaps because from the point of view of the othe...perhaps because from the point of view of the other races, they don't view things in terms of classes, unlike the humans.
