A-to-Z Challenge, C: Cyprian Centaur (New Oe/BX/1E Monster)

Thanks to all that have been visiting my site over the last few days and leaving comments. It is greatly appreciated. Also, my sincerest apologies for not responding to any of them directly (yet.) I've been slammed with work and personal commitments, and it's all I can do to just get these up every day. Thanks for understanding.

Cyprian Centaur

DESCRIPTION Cyprian centaurs appear as normal centaurs, with the addition of bull-like horns growing from their heads, and a slight advantage in size and muscle over the standard variety. This added size and muscle does make them slightly slower, however. Unlike the standard breed of centaurs, cyprian centaurs are generally friendly and less savage when dealing with other sentient creatures. Additionally, standard centaurs see the cyprian breed of centaurs as “unlike” them and, therefore, a natural enemy. In bands, one-quarter of the cyprian centaurs will be armed with pole-arms (2-handed, 2-12 points damage/attack), one-quarter will be armed with spears (1-8 points damage/attack), one-quarter will be armed with composite longbows and 10-40 arrows (32” range, 1-6 points damage/attack), and the rest will be as leaders (AC 3) with shield and lance (1-8 points damage/attack). All cyprian centaurs may attack twice during each melee round, once with their hooves and a second time with their weapon or by making a gore attack with their horns (2-8 points damage/attack). Cyprian centaurs prefer to live in tribes away from other civilizations, preferring warm areas with mild winters, usually near coastlines or on secluded islands. Females of the breed (which will outnumber males in their lair by 2 to 1) will fight as 3 hit dice monsters (1-4/1-4/1-6/1-4 or by weapon type), and the young (4-20 in number) as 2 hit dice monsters (1-2/1-2/2-4/1-2 or by weapon type.)
