Mounted speciality

You adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty. Choose a Fighting Style from the list of optional features. You can't take the same Fighting Style option more than once, even if you get to choose again.

Archery

You gain a +2 bonus to Attack rolls you make with Ranged Weapons whilst you are mounted.

Defense

While you are wearing armor and mounted, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.

Great Weapon Fighting

When you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for an Attack you make with a melee weapon that you are wielding with two hands, if you are mounted you can reroll the die and must use the new roll, even if the new roll is a 1 or a 2. The weapon must have the Two-Handed or Versatile property for you to gain this benefit.

Two-Weapon Fighting

When you are mounted and engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the second Attack.

Second wind

You have a limited well of stamina that you can draw on to protect yourself from harm. On Your Turn, you can use a Bonus Action to regain Hit Points equal to 1d10 + your Mounted Champion level.

Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or Long Rest before you can use it again.

Action surge

Starting at 2nd Level, you can push yourself beyond your normal limits for a moment. On Your Turn, you can take one additional action on top of your regular action and a possible Bonus Action.

Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or Long Rest before you can use it again. Starting at 17th level, you can use it twice before a rest, but only once on the same turn.

Mounted charge

If you move at least 20 feet in a straight line immediately before taking the Attack Action, you either gain a +5 bonus to all attack rolls you make this turn or +5 to all attack damage rolls (if you chose to make a melee attack and hit this turn).

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 14th, 16th and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Extra attack

Beginning at 5th Level, you can Attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on Your Turn.

The number of attacks increases to three when you reach 11th level in this class and to four when you reach 20th level in this class.

Mounted combatant

Beginning at 6th level, you have advantage on melee attack rolls against any unmounted creature that is smaller then your mount. You can force an attack targeting you to target your mount, or an attack targeting your mount to you, instead. If your mount is subjected to an affect that allows it to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, it instead takes no damage if it succeeds on the saving throw, and only half damage if it fails. While mounted you can use two-weapon fighting even when the one-handed melee weapons you are wielding aren't light.

Alerted mount

By 7th level, your steads instincts are so honed that you have advantage on Initiative rolls if you are mounted.

Additionally, if you are surprised at the beginning of Combat, mounted and aren't Incapacitated, you can act normally on your first turn, but only if you enter your rage before doing anything else on that turn.

Indomitable stead

Beginning at 9th level, you can reroll a saving throw that you or your mount failed. If you do so, you must use the new roll, and you can't use this feature again until you finish a Long Rest.

You can use this feature twice between long rests starting at 13th level and three times between long rests starting at 17th level.

Aura of courage

Starting at 10th level, you and friendly creatures within 10 feet of you can't be Frightened while you are conscious, mounted and they can hear or see you.

At 18th level, the range of this aura increases to 30 feet.

Superior critical

Starting at 15th level, your weapon attacks score a critical hit on a roll of 18–20.

Survivor

At 18th level, you attain the pinnacle of resilience in battle. At the start of each of your turns, you regain Hit Points equal to 5 + your Constitution modifier if you have no more than half of your Hit Points left.

You don’t gain this benefit if you have 0 Hit Points.
