Item: Barding Saddle
This saddle is covered with well-polished metal plates on the outside and adjusts to fit any mount.
Activate—Ready for Battle 2 (manipulate)
You touch the metal plates of the saddle, which begin to unfold around the creature, covering your mount in heavy barding that extends from a simple-looking saddle. The Bulk of the saddle is the same in either form, but your mount isn't affected by the restrictions or the benefits of wearing barding while it's in saddle form. If the mount is already wearing barding, this has no effect. You return the barding to saddle form by using the same activity.
Trait Effects
Companion: An item with this trait can be worn by an animal companion or similar creature. A companion can have up to two items invested.
Invested: A character can invest only 10 magical items that have the invested trait. None of the magical effects of the item apply if the character hasn’t invested it, nor can it be activated, though the character still gains any normal benefits from wearing the physical item (like a hat keeping rain off their head).
Magical: Something with the magical trait is imbued with magical energies not tied to a specific tradition of magic. Some items or effects are closely tied to a particular tradition of magic. In these cases, the item has the arcane, divine, occult, or primal trait instead of the magical trait. Any of these traits indicate that the item is magical.
