This feat is intended to be used with the revised riding rules and is intended to replace Mounted Combat (3.5e Feat). Those rules are presented as part of the Tome of Prowess, but do not need to be used with that work. When using standard rules, replace Acrobatics with Balance and Tumble, and Athletics with Climb and Swim.

Saddleborn Warrior [Combat] You are at your best when fighting with an ally that you are sitting on. Benefits: This is a combat feat that scales with your Base Attack Bonus.

• +0: When making a ride check or a swift mount / dismount check, you may use your Base Attack Bonus + your dexterity modifier + 3 in place of your normal ride modifier. You may take 10 on this replacement riding check at any time, even under pressure or in combat.
• +1: At the end of any straight line move equal to or greater than half of your mount's base movement speed, you may declare a charge. This allows you to charge when your mount takes a move, double-move, or run action as well as initiate multiple charges per round. Once you declare a charge at any point in a round, you suffer the AC penalty until the beginning of your next turn. Attacks of opportunity apply against movement taken to initiate multiple charges as normal.
• +6: You may take a full attack action with melee weapons while mounted. These attacks can occur at any point along your mount's movement, and may be split or grouped as you like. If you charge an opponent, only your first attack gains the attack bonus.
• +11: You may use your replacement ride check in place of your mount's Athletics, Acrobatics, Jump, or Reflex Saving Throws. Your mount does not gain any access to skill abilities beyond its ranks, however.
• +16: Any time a spell effect would target your mount, you may elect to have it target you instead. Any time a spell effect would target you, you may elect to have it target your mount instead.
