Esper the Dreamer
First Post
My players always want access to new feats, especially since things are slightly limited here at the beginning of the new edition. One player in particular [okay...my girlfriend 
], noticed that there was but a single mounted combat feat in the PHB. What treachery is this?! So I honored her pegasus-riding dark paladin with a few options. Another player noticed that there were no channel divinity feats for the evil gods. Well, look no further. Oh, and I'll post a few other miscellaneous ones that I think are worthwhile...
-heroic-tier mounted feats-
Expanded Mount Training
Prerequisites: Mounted Combat
Benefit: Choose a mount that you own. Increase its
number of healing surges by two.
It gains an action point. It may use this action point
only for its own actions (at your command). It gains
new action points just as a player character does.
You may swap the benefits of this feat from one
mount to another, though only one mount may benefit
from it at a time. Doing so requires one week worth of
training with the mount.
Expeditious Rider
Prerequisites: Mounted Combat
Benefit: You may mount or dismount as a move
action, or as a minor action with a successful DC 20
acrobatic stunt. Failing this stunt causes you to fall
prone.
Once per encounter you may spur your mount to
give it a +2 bonus to speed on a single charge or
move action.
Impact Charge
Prerequisites: Mounted Combat, Str 15
Benefit: When you charge while mounted and
your attack hits, you may immediately make a bull
rush attempt against the target. If you successfully
bull rush a mounted target, it is knocked off of its
mount and lands prone in an adjacent square
(appropriate for the direction the attack came from).
Ride-by Strike
Prerequisites: Mounted Combat
Benefit: When you charge while mounted, you
may continue moving after the attack. You must
keep the direction of the charge.
Your total movement for the round can’t exceed
double your mounted speed. You and your mount
do not provoke an opportunity attack from the
opponent that you charged when moving away from it.
