I think that Centaurs should be able to bash without a shield like the trample feat. Could this be a posability?

Opyop

Centaur as a race already have a number of very significant advantages, adding shieldless bashing would be too unbalancing in my opinion.

They have phenomenal strength, constitution and dexterity...
They can already dual wield a large and a medium weapon or wield a huge weapon two-handed,

Adding the ability to bash without having to hold a shield would give an unfair advantage.

Just out of interest did anything like the ECL factor implemented in tabletop get utilized in FK?

I can't remember how it all got set up back in the day..

Can centaurs bash without a shield although unmounted if they have the trample feat? If that's not too mechanically unbalancing too, that might be a fair way to do it...

In tabletop centaurs are able to take feats like trample and spirited charge, but in tabletop their significant advantages are offset by slower leveling. In FK there's a hard cap on levels, so even if we slow down how fast a centaur levels, once they reach level 50 they are on an even playing field as far as levels go and simply have additional advantages. If we were to allow centaurs to use trample and other mounted feats it would only be more unbalancing.
