[FOCI]
Translation Codex
There are many interesting mounts to ride in the seemingly endless variety of recursions around Earth. From horses to dragons and other strange beasts, those who cultivate a special relationship with these animals are often celebrated as important and powerful. Mounts are a symbol of nobility in many places and those who master their companion animals are seen as having an almost supernatural aspect.
Your mount is used to this terrain, riding swiftly through it.
Your mount is especially capable today, acting as though it were one Level higher.
You possess a fairly intelligent and highly loyal Level 2 creature as your mount.
You are trained in riding tasks.
You loyal mount can do things most other animals like it won't, such as climbing stairs and going into caves. The mount will never spook or run away unless compelled by a supernatural force.
You are trained at melee weapon attacks with medium and light weapons, so long as you are on your loyal mount.
Your mount now gets to attack each round, dealing 4 damage on hits.
Your mount happens to be nearby, ready for you to leap upon it and ride off.
You are specialized in using either ranged weapons or large melee weapons while riding your loyal mount. You never suffer any situational penalties due to your positioning while fighting when mounted.
GM Intrusion: Your mount becomes agitated for the encounter (+1 difficulty on ride tasks).
