Nidalese Horselord

Frequency once per hour

A lifetime of facing Nidal's terrors has taught you to fight through fear. Although you aren't immune to it, you can subdue the emotion to such an extent that many believe it doesn't affect you. Reduce the value of your Frightened condition by 1. If this would reduce the value to 0, you are no longer frightened and gain a +1 circumstance bonus against fear effects for 1 minute.

Effect: Face Your Fears

Frequency once per hour

Your stoicism and courage seem to drive off darkness and shadow. For 1 minute, you suppress magical darkness effects of a rank equal to or lower than half your level rounded up within a 10-foot emanation. This doesn't provide light, but merely restores the area to its natural illumination level. You can Dismiss this aura.

If your horse is at least a mature animal companion, you can use Repel Darkness to cause the aura to emanate from your horse instead of you, as long as your horse is within 100 feet.

Frequency once per day

Trigger An ally within 30 feet fails a save against a mental effect.

You have learned to endure pain without complaint and are capable of steeling your allies with similar resolve. When you give them a shout of encouragement, the triggering ally can reroll their failed save with a +2 circumstance bonus.

Effect: Fear No Pain!

Nidalese horses are known as some of the fastest across all Golarion, and your mount has trained to ride quickly into battle. When you command your horse to take the Support action, it gains a +5-foot circumstance bonus to its Speed until the start of your next turn.

Effect: Swift Support

Requirements You are mounted on your horse, and your last action was to Command an Animal to order your horse to Stride at least once.

You leap from your horse, using the momentum of its movement to deal a devastating blow with your melee weapon. You use the Mount action to dismount your horse but can move to any space within 10 feet of your mount, as long as your horse moved at least 15 feet. You then make a melee Strike. This counts as two attacks when calculating your multiple attack penalty. If this Strike hits, you deal an extra die of weapon damage. If you're at least 14th level, increase this to two extra dice.

You're capable of absorbing pain with less difficulty than others, and your bond with your horse helps it similarly ignore such suffering. You and your mount gain resistance to mental damage equal to half your level.

Your bond with your horse becomes supernaturally strong as the two of you continue your crusade against Zon-Kuthon's dominion. You and your horse gain greater darkvision. In addition, when your horse succeeds at a save against effects that would cause the Confused, Controlled, or Fascinated condition, it gets a critical success instead.

Requirements You're riding your horse and wielding a melee weapon.

You charge into the fray on horseback, and those that lurk in the shadows will feel your wrath. You Command an Animal to have your mount Stride up to double its Speed. You can make a melee Strike at up to two enemies that are within your reach at any point during your mount's movement. Both attacks count toward your multiple attack penalty, but the penalty doesn't increase until after you've made both of them.

Each Strike that hits a creature in dim light or darkness deals an additional 3d6 damage of the same type as the Strike. This additional damage increases to 4d6 at 15th level and to 5d6 at 18th level.

Trigger A fiend within 15 feet of you damages you with a Strike.

You turn to face a fiend that attacked you, looking them squarely in the eyes (if it has them) and showing no fear. You increase the amount of damage you take by 4d6, and deal 4d6 spirit damage to the triggering fiend. The damage you take and deal increases to 5d6 at 18th level.

In addition, if the fiend has an aura and you're in it, you can attempt an Intimidation check to counteract the aura's effect, using half your level rounded up as the counteract rank. If you succeed, the effects of the aura are suppressed until the end of the triggering fiend's next turn.

Though your enemy wields shadow and darkness as weapons, they are no impediment to you when you ride your trusted horse. To that end, your mount can step onto patches of darkness as if they were solid. When your horse moves through an area of darkness, it can treat empty spaces as solid ground. This allows your horse to move across gaps bridged by darkness or even into the air, ascending or descending at a maximum of a 45-degree angle. If your horse isn't on actual solid ground and the area your horse is in becomes dim light or brighter, your horse falls.
