Class Features

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: A master charioteer is proficient with all simple and martial weapons, light armor, medium armor, heavy armor, and shields.

Increased Chariot Speed: Even if he is not driving the chariot himself, a master charioteer can increase the chariot’s speed if he makes a successful Ride (Chariot) check (DC 15). A check must be made each time the charioteer attempts to increase speed.

Improved Trample: Beginning at 2nd level, if a master charioteer performs a trample with his chariot, it does bonus damage equal to his class level and the driver receives a bonus on his Ride check equal to the master charioteer’s class level to avoid toppling the chariot.

Quick Reins: At 4th level, the master charioteer can move between positions (driver, shieldbearer, charioteer) as a free action.

Improved Cover: At 6th level, a master charioteer becomes particularly adept at using his chariot for cover. Cover on the side protected by the shieldbearer increases from three-quarters to nine-tenths, and cover on the opposite side increases from one-quarter to one-half.

Steed Kill: At 8th level, a master charioteer becomes particularly adept at killing steeds that are being used for riding or pulling chariots. If he studies a steed for three rounds and successfully hits with a ranged attack, the steed must make a Fortitude save (DC 15 + the master charioteer’s class level) or die.

Crippling Shot: At 10th level, on a critical hit, a master charioteer’s ranged attacks also cause crippling strikes, dropping their target’s Strength by 1 point. Targets reduced to 0 Strength are immobilized.
