Anyone here seen 5th editions new stackable centaurs?

https://media.wizards.com/2018/dnd/downloads/UA-Centaur.pdf

They're trying to have large monster races be medium PC races by making them 'medium with extras' instead of 'large with stuff taken away' and it's resulted in the centaur's being worded such that they can ride each other just fine, and can also ride horses and such just fine.

Centaur battle tower is now a thing. 

[MrRoboto75]

Centaurs riding centaurs is how you get more centaurs.

What's the problem here.

[Grim Portent]

The problem would be centaurs riding horses. It's unsanitary at best. 

[Mephisto]

I asked my D&D group to reroll as centaurs so we could have a centaur tower. No one did so.

Also, check out the thumbnail for DawnforgedCast's review of that particular UA.

I think my old gnome cleric was carried by part members occasionally.
I know our "unglued" Christmas Campaign involved my human character Bradbury riding his wife, a PC griffon, into battle.  Eventually, against the forces of Santa Clause.  Jimminy christmas that was a weird campaign, and also our only epic campaign (we started at 1, and gained 4-5 levels *per session*.  And our blink dog PC was psionic.)

Order of the Stick "cheats" by having the dwarf constantly carried.  Dwarves are medium, somewhat bizarrely - though my current dwarf is 5ft, and presumably stout for that height.

Well, if they're not going for it it's your obligation to throw one against them to demonstrate what they're missing.

Would that I could, but I'm a lowly player this time. The DM threw one solitary minotaur at us.

You could always find centaurs and stack them, lol. If your DM lets you anyway.

[Jimmy]

Hmmm, a hundred centaurs stacked riding one another walk into a Flesh to Stone spell trap and all fail their saving throws, instantly turning the entire stack to stone.

I shall call it the Centower.

Only PC race centaurs can be stacked, normal centaurs are unstackable.

What’s the difference?

[SOLDIER First]

The PC race centaurs are designed for players to use, while normal centaurs aren't.

[smjjames]

Then generate a bunch of PC statted centaurs and have them be NPCs? Seems really arbitrary.

[Kagus]

When in doubt, mad wizard.

The demihuman centaurpede.

[Grim Portent]

Seems really arbitrary.

That is the main complaint about PC centaurs being medium and NPC ones being large.
