Yeah, they'll want Alicia or some other healer to look *all* the centaurs over. Best if it's someone who can do anatomical drawing to detail the variations in how the splicing was done and any other changes.
Some of the things that could *big* issues.
Unless the equine parts where grown specially with human DNA, there are gonna be immune system weirdnesses. Every thing from blood types on.
*Something* had to be done to avoid autoimmune disorders. Otherwise they'd be horribly ill or dead.
Immunosuppressants are unlikely as that'd have gotten them sick from a lot of things after they got out.
This is going to make blood transfusions "interesting". Also means that there may be problems with oddball allergic reaction.
And the combined digestive system is gonna be really weird too. The human part can't handle rough stuff like grass and hay. The equine part would need major mods to deal with meat and many other things.
They'll have to have had some significant work done on the nose and throat to allow for the extra airflow required. Ditto for the larger volume of food required.
The limited immunity for black hats turning in another black hat reminds me of something seen in old Westerns: "Just be outta town by sunset..." and similar comments.
