Ever since you were a child, you've had the knack for training and riding monsters. Handling massive beasts, showing off the ability to perform daring feats and stunts comes as easily to as breathing. Perhaps you were inspired by other riders or perhaps you were raised in a village where monster riding is common-place but you knew you could turn your talents into something extraordinary. You have honed your ability to perform daring acts of combat while atop and beside your loyal companions. You've began looking for work with your monster(s): messenger, military, shows, hunting, anything to keep the bond strong.

Feature: Master of Monsters
Monstrosities and Beasts are always friendly towards you unless you provoke them, they are of evil alignment or they are trained to be hostile. Though you initially start out with just one Monstie, some terrain will require different modes of transportation. You are able to transpose the skills you have learned in regards to monster riding and translate them onto different or more exotic mounts. You are a Rider that fears no mount.
