Class Features

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Horselords are proficient with simple and martial weapons, and with all armor and shields.

Special Mount: Horselord gains the service of a loyal and trusty steed to carry Him into battle. This mount functions as a druid’s animal companion, using the Horselord’s level as his effective druid level. The creature must be one that he is capable of riding and is suitable as a mount. A Horselord does not take an armor check penalty on Ride checks while riding his mount. The mount is always considered combat trained and begins play with Light Armor Proficiency as a bonus feat. A Horselord’s mount does not gain the share spells special ability. A Horselord’s bond with his mount is strong, with the pair learning to anticipate each other’s moods and moves. Should a Horselord’s mount die, the Horselord may find another mount to serve His after 1 week of mourning. This new mount does not gain the link, evasion, devotion, or improved evasion special abilities until the next time the Horselord gains a level.

Diehard: The Horselord gains the feat Diehard. When reduced to negative hit points, He may choose to act as if He were disabled, rather than dying. You must make this decision as soon as you are reduced to negative hit points (even if it isn’t your turn). If you do not choose to act as if you were disabled, you immediately fall unconscious

Improved charge: The Horselord learns to make more accurate charge attacks while mounted. The Horselord receives a +4 bonus on melee attack rolls on a charge while mounted (instead of the normal +2). In addition, the Horselord does not suffer any penalty to his AC after making a charge attack while mounted.

Jousting: The lance in the hands of a Horselord is truly a formidable weapon! base weapon damage is increasing from 1d8 to 2d8 and +1d8 every 5 levels

Leadership: The Horselord substuets his Cha modifier for his Str or Wis modifier for the leadership feat. Its common for a horselord to boast tails of his Str and his tactical victory's.

Commanding Presence: The Horselord's presence on the battlefield is enough to startle some opponents. At the start of an encounter, each foe who can see the Horselord must pass a Fortitude check (DC 10 + 1/2 Horselord level + player's Str modifier) or suffer a -2 penalty to their pending initiative roll. (Only effective when the Horselord is Mounted.)

Mighty Charge: The Horselord learns to make devastating charge attacks while mounted. Double the threat range of any weapons wielded during a charge while mounted. This increase does not stack with other effects that increase the threat range of the weapon

Freedom of Movement: The Horselord has Freedom of Movement as the spell

Movement Defense: The Horselord no longer provokes attacks of opportunity when moving past enemies who are on the same side of his body as his shield.

Devestating charge: The Horselord learns to make more accurate charge attacks while mounted. The Horselord receives 1/2 his Horselord levels as bonus on melee attacks(to hit and damage)
