What's TWF? Thief-Wizard-Fighter?
That would be a Centaur Fighter with Two Weapon Fighting.
Centaur Fighter with TWF. What do you think of it?
*looks around*
Think about what? I don't see the stats.
Str 24
Dex 18
Con 20
Int 10
Wis 14
Cha 10
What do you think of it? Not only the stats but the idea of it as well, and also some advice would be welcome :P
If you havent already considered it.......might I sugggest CAVALIER as a Prc for this Character.
How exactly can i take on the Cavalier PrC? Just imagine the idea of a Half-Horse riding on an other horse:P It's a bit too much :P
With minimal modification.....you gain the classes abilities. You dont actually ride anything. Not a far stretch of the imagination..........
Reaping Mauler? I never would have considered for a Centaur. Minotaur maybe....but not a centaur. If thats your desire...have at it.
Surely you must see the limitations of playing a creature that is "half horse". Dungeoneering is perhaps the greatest drawback to this character. Small corridors that may or may not be in a state of disrepair.......simple acts of climbing become all but impossible for this character.
If however you adventure primarily in the wilderness......then none of those problems really pertain to you. Just things to consider is all.
Pair of Katana's maybe?
The tempest is only a 5 level PrC, which means you can head into something after only 11 levels (ranger 6/tempest 5) such as the dervish from Complete Warrior; just make sure to pick up Combat Expertise and Weapon Focus in a slashing weapon as you advance through tempest.
The double-bladed sword's a great idea, but you may get a lot out of the scimitar and kukri combo - huge threat rating, and as a Large creature the damage is still pretty good (1d8 for the scimitar and 1d6 for the kukri). Then, when you pick up the dervish levels, you can go nuts.

I like the tempest aspect since dispater has no power in Krynn, But what's the combo of kukri-scimitar?
Two weapons that threaten a critical hit on 18-20.

I prefer rapier. It's more fun rapier-scimitar :P
Scimitar, with kukri off-hand, doesn't have as big an attack penalty, and works very well with the dervish prestige class. A centaur with a rapier is just weird.

A few things to consider:
- If you keep to the same weapon type in each hand, you can benefit better from weapon specific feats like Weapon Focus and Improved Critical.
- You might be able to talk your DM into letting you wield the scimitar off-hand with no additional penalty for it not being a light weapon. I'd probably allow it at my table, given the "cool" factor of the character concept and the mechanical disadvantages of not going with a two-handed weapon.

Yup. This is actually what the first level of the dervish PrC gives you. It's called Slashing Blades and lets you treat the scimitar as a light weapon for all purposes, such as off-hand attacks and so forth.

Don't forget your level adjustment for being a centaur though. Definintely something to consider when creating this character. Is the rest of your party made up of similar "higher powered" races, or are they regular humanoids?
You dont want to come up with a really cool concept that you couldnt play because you were too powerful for your group.
Centaur is the perfect barbarian, and adding two weapon fighting to that would make him an absolute killing machine.
But then again, I think I've started to prefer straight classes to PrCs these days.

I do believe that the scimitar (a one-handed weapon for a medium sized creature) is a light weapon for a minotaur (a large size creature), unless it is a large sized scimitar. Or am I reading the rules wrong again?

Not with 3.5 weapon size rules. A large size creature would take a penalty when using a medium size weapon; he'd have to use a large size scimitar.
However, Cam points out that with the dervish PrC, it'd be legal anyway, even without a house rule.
