Artificial Mount

When you take this subclass at 1st level you gain proficiency in land vehicles.
Your tinkering with metal and magic has allowed you to create a Artificial Mount. This mount obeys your commands and is one size larger than you. It appearance can be determined by you, or you could roll on the below table.

D6 mount type
1: A mechanical Horse
2: A clockwork Spider
3: A Walking Mecha Suit
4: A Go-Cart
5: A Tank
6: A skateboard

While mounted on this Artificial Mount. you have advantage on saving throws made to avoid falling off your mount. If you fall off your mount and descend no more than 10 feet, you can land on your feet if you’re not incapacitated. Mounting or dismounting the mount costs you only 5 feet of movement, rather than half your speed. Only you can mount this Creation.

In combat, the Artificial Mount shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take one of the actions in its stat block or the Dash, Disengage, Help, Hide, or Search action. If you require a spell attack bonus or spell save dc for the the spells cast by your mount, you use your spell attack and spell save.
