( Player's Guide to Faerûn, p. 43)[Regional]
You've spent endless hours learning how to handle a mount in a fi ght.
Prerequisite
Human (Cormyr, Dambrath, the Hordelands, Narfell, Nimbral, the North, the Western Heartlands),
Benefit
You can take 10 on Ride checks, even if you are rushed or threatened. If either you or your mount fails a Refl ex save while mounted, you can attempt a Ride check to succeed on the saving throw anyway. The save is successful if your Ride check result is equal to or greater than the spell's save DC. (Essentially, you can substitute your Ride check result for your Refl ex save if the former is higher.) You can attempt this substitution once per round for either yourself or your mount. If both you and your mount fail a Refl ex save against the same effect (for example, a fi reball spell or dragon breath that catches you and your mount in its area), your Ride check result applies to both your save and your mount's save.
Special
You may select this feat only as a 1st-level character. You may have only one regional feat.
