Class Features

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: The Bonerider gains no proficiency with armor or weapons.

Spellcasting: At each level, you gain new spells per day and an increase in caster level (and spells known, if applicable) as if you had also gained a level in a spellcasting class to which you belonged before adding the prestige class level. You do not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained.

Mount the Dead (Su): A Bonerider can summon an undead creature to serve her for up to her character level in hours each day. The Bonerider traditionally rides this creature, though it is fanatically loyal and she can use it for any other task it is capable of. Summoning or dismissing the mount is a standard action, and it appears within close range of the Bonerider. If the Bonerider's mount is destroyed, she may not summon it again for 24 hours.

The mount is an undead creature, but is often much more intelligent and loyal than a normal example of its type. The undead mount has an Intelligence of 10 if it would normally be less than that (including creatures which usually have an Intelligence of "-"). The Bonerider is immune to any harmful effects of touching or being within the presence of her mount. The Mount gains Turn Resistance equal to the Bonerider's class level.

A Bonerider of sufficiently high level can summon any undead with HD less than or equal to her Charisma Score + Character Level.

Turn/Rebuke Undead (Su): If the Bonerider already has turning or rebuking, she may add her levels of Bonerider to her level for the purposes of turning or rebuking.

Versatile Riding (Ex): At 2nd level, the Bonerider's mount gains the special bonuses of a phantom steed cast with a caster level equal to her caster level.

Deadly Touch (Su): At 2nd level, a Bonerider can cast Continuous Inflict Wounds at will. The total amount of damage is based on her character level. As this is negative energy, this damage heals undead.

Bonus feat: At each level, the Bonerider gains a Bonus Feat from the Fighter list that she qualifies for.

Speed of the Dead: At 4th level, the Bonerider's mount gains a +100' enhancement bonus to its speed with every movement it has. The mount also has Evasion.

Hunger of the Dead: The mount of a 4th level Bonerider can consume the flesh of a fallen corporeal enemy and heal itself completely in doing so. Devouring a helpless or dead opponent is a standard action if the target creature is at least one size smaller than the undead beast.

Eternal Faithfulness (Su): At 5th level, a Bonerider's Mount will sacrifice itself to save the Bonerider's life. If the Bonerider is ever affected by an effect or attack that would kill her while she is touching her mount, her mount suffers the effects instead. If the effect covered an area, it is entirely possible that the mount will be affected twice.
