How to FOCUS on mounted combat
Added 2022-08-02 11:21:04 +0000 UTCMaking a mounted character is easy...buy a horse. Focusing on mounted combat is a bit more tricky. I discuss the pitfalls and potential solutions.

There may be a third way. The Familiar Way: 1) Strixhaven has two new feats. The first is basically Magic Initiate (obtainable through a background too). The second, which requires the first, is Strixhaven Mascot. Which, crucially (in addition to some other nice benefits) gives you the new Fractal Mascot as a familiar option. 2) Fractal Mascot is a familiar which, with bonus actions, can grow up to the size of huge, thus serving as a mount. It can also shrink down to below tiny. And it can phase through things, allowing you to teleport to its location with another of the Feats features (I have your attention yet? It can phase through solid objects to reach places you cannot, and then you can teleport to its location). 3) As a familiar, it can be re-summoned with a spell or ritual, dismiss and re-summon to go into difficult areas (though this familiar should have no issues with such), use Investment of the Chain Master Invocation (flying, resistance to damage, etc), and be subject to the Flock of Familiars spell for multiple Fractal Mascots, among other things.
