Over at montecook.com (You modestly well-lanned bashers will remember Monte Cook as one of the most important names behind Planescape), there's a discussion going on about centaur PCs exploring dungeons. In Cook's masterpiece of a campaign setting Ptolus (save discussion of that campaign setting for another thread), centaurs--called aram--are a fairly common PC race. But the question arises of how a centaur PC moves down a human-sized hallway, or through human-sized doors, or climbs a ladder, or climbs a rope.
Most people's answer was to buy spider climb items, or levitation potions. Monte Cook tried to explain how a centaur is still sized sufficiently to allow climbing and laddering without trouble. It'd be more awkward, but it could still do it.
I think we have sort of the same issue with bariaurs. Sure, they may be Medium as opposed to Large and we may not have half our adventures taking place in Undersigil, but eventually a bariaur has to do something like this.
So, my roundabout purpose here is this: I challenge someone at this site (and I know there are plenty of wildly talented artists banging around the place) to put forth some sketches of bariaurs engaging in surprisingly adept feats of mountaineering. Use your creativity and show us a compelling depiction of a bariaur on a ladder, or a bariaur hanging from a cliff, or a bariaur shimmying along on a rope, or a bariaur tumbling through someone's threatened area.
An additional reward/lure!
The best of the art submitted (and horseshoes of the zephyr are fun items for a bariaur for the record)... the best of the art submitted will be up for inclusion in a re-release of The Bariaur Book of Belief.
I've updated the 2nd ed. version of the release with 3.0/3.5 material - and would love t'chance to make it spiffy and pretty to boot before I send it out the door.
