Mounted Combat

You know how to get the most from a Mount in combat and in other dangerous situations.

Mounted Combat

Prerequisite: Trained in either Pilot or Ride

• Benefit: You can make a DC 20 Pilot/Ride check as a Swift Action to spur your Vehicle/Mount to move faster than its normal speed. If the check fails, your Vehicle/Mount's Speed does not increase and it moves -1 step on the Condition Track. If the check succeeds, your Vehicle/Mount's Speed increases by 2 squares until the start of your next turn. You cannot Take 10 on this check.
• Your Vehicle/Mount must succeed on a DC 25 Endurance check before each subsequent use of this Feat in the same encounter. On a success: you may make your pilot/ride check as normal. On a failure, your vehicle/mount moves -1 step on the condition track before you make your pilot/ride check.

Additionally, Once per Encounter, as a Reaction, when you are piloting a Vehicle or riding a Mount, you can negate a weapon hit against either you or the Mount by making a successful Pilot/Ride check. The DC of the Skill Check is equal to the result of the attack roll you want to negate.
