Deadly Charge: the Cavalier can declare a charge to be a “Deadly Charge:” x3 damage, x4 if using a lance (does not stack with Spirited Charge feat)

Burst of Speed: the Cavalier can urge his mount to move quadruple its Speed on a charge, instead of the usual twice Speed on a charge; can be used 1/day safely; additional times/day require the mount to make a DC: 20 Will save after the charge or take 2d6 damage; this damage is cumulative (2d6 with a failed save after the second Burst of Speed, 4d6 with a failed save after the third Burst of Speed, etc.)

Full Mounted Attack: the mounted Cavalier can make a full attack after his mount moves more than 5’ but no farther than a single move would carry it; cannot combine this full attack with a charge

Unbroken Charge: the Cavalier can make a charge attack through difficult terrain or allies with a DC: 15 Ride check
Unstoppable Charge: the Cavalier’s Deadly Charges are now Unstoppable Charges, inflicting x4 damage, x5 if using a lance (does not stack with Spirited Charge feat)

Quick Turn: with a DC: 25 Ride check the cavalier can change direction up to 90 degrees while mount is running or charging (though the mount must move at least 10’ in a straight line after the turn); if Ride check fails, mount moves 10’ in a straight line after the point at which the turn was to take place, then loses its remaining actions
