Prerequisite: 4th level, the ability to cast force or tech powers
You are trained in the use of powers while mounted. While you are mounted and aren't incapacitated, you gain the following benefits:
- When you cast a power targeting yourself, you can also affect your mount with the power.
- You have advantage on melee force or tech attack rolls against any unmounted creature that is smaller than your mount.
- If your mount is subjected to an effect that allows it to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, it instead takes no damage if it succeeds on the saving throw, and only half damage if it fails.
