Skyriders
 |
Have you ever wanted to train your own dragon? How about riding the legendary Pegasus into battle against the Kraken? Maybe you think you can get the ring to the volcano faster if you fly in on the backs of giant eagles?
Skyriders is a supplemental ruleset for 5th Edition that opens an endless horizon of possibilities. Release your earthbound shackles and explore the far reaches of the world on the favorable winds of Adventure!
Skyriders offers a complete toolkit for aerial adventures.
Completely customizable mounts that level as your character does¸ gaining abilities and features. No more 'leveling out' of usefulness with a mount that matches your capabilities step for step. Even the humblest appearing mount can match it with the greatest threats with this system. A new class - The Skyrider - is designed to synergize with your mount for seamless action and adventure. Get the most out of your flying companion. nine archetypes for the Skyrider;
The Arcanist - a wizard that can enlarge and empower their familiar companion.
The Cavalier - a mounted warrior of sublime skill that girds themselves and their mount in protective armor.
The Juggernaut - indomitable combatants who confront the greatest aerial threats with unmatched tenacity¸ turning aside blows and fuelling themselves to greater feats in the face of punishing attacks.
The Paragon - skyriders with a connection to or affinity for an outer or elemental plane. Their mount is summoned from that plane as an idealized version of that creature from that environment.
The Necrolyte - an adept that wields necromantic powers and raises their mount companion from the dead to take to the skies once more.
The Scout - nimble and agile as the mounts they ride¸ scouts range far and fast¸ reveling in the freedom of flight.
The Shaman of the Winds - a mystic attuned to the sky and the creatures that make it their home. These shamans can shapeshift to ride the currents along with their aerial counterpart.
The Steel Talon - extraordinary arcane mechanists¸ the steel talons create flying constructs that are outfitted as their creator desires.
The Warleader - a marshal and natural leader¸ inspiring and supporting their flight wing with presence and panache.
