medium-sized centaur can use the armor of medium-sized human (11-15).<br>> -A short centaur can use the armor of short human (6-10).<br>> -A big centaur can use the armor of big human (16-20).<br><br>Exactly correct. In cases even remotely like this a proportional scale.<br><br>FWIW, Centaur SIZ is 4d6+12. So that gives an average of 28, a minimum of<br>16 and a maximum of 48. So maybe 16-24, 25-31, and 32-48?<br><br><br><br> </div> </div> </div></body></html>
