RotR Anniversary Edition Traits and Mounts


Rise of the Runelords


Under the "Friends and Enemies" trait in the Rise of the Runelords Anniversary Edtion Player's guide on page 4 it says:

RotR Anniversary Player's Guide wrote:
Friends and Enemies: One of your family members, perhaps a parent, cousin, aunt, or uncle, helped Daviren Hosk put down a group of goblins near Sandpoint. Since then, your family member passed away, but not before telling you about that day and the offer Daviren made her should she ever be in need. Once you make it to Sandpoint and meet up with Daviren Hosk at the Goblin Squash Stables, he gives you one of his best steeds and all the necessary accoutrements as gratitude for your family member’s help: a heavy combat trained horse, a military saddle, saddlebags, bit and bridle, a month’s worth of feed, and lifetime stabling at the Goblin Squash Stables.

If a character has a class that has the Mount class feature (let us assume choosing a horse as a mount at 1st level), does this heavy combat trained horse replace the mount, or does the trait simply give the character another horse?


It would grant a non class feature mount, just as if it were purchased with gold.

As an alternate benefit in this case you could grant a small (half feat sized) buff to the character's horse, due to excellent care and advice provided by the old family friend.

Huh, that's one way to do it. I get a trait, and so does my horse.


Since giving an extra horse to a cavalier is a waste.... I'd say a single attribute point, the fleet feat, +1 to a save, an extra trick, something like that.
