The beastmaster of the round table, Sir Ywain strikes fear into the hearts of his enemies with his massive lion. He also has some magical prowess from his mother, Morgan le Fay, though he prefers not to mention it in public.
As his squire Ywain has taught you some tricks of the trade to aid you in your knighthood.
Noble Steed
You have trained extensively in mounted combat and are comfortable with a variety of steeds. You gain proficiency in the Animal Handling skill, and you can cast Find Steed once per short rest without expending a spell slot. The steed summoned by this spell gains additional hit points equal to your level.
Beast Companion
You and your mount share a special bond. When in combat, you have advantage on saving throws made to stay on your mount. Your mount also has an additional 5ft of movement speed.
Ferocious Strikes
You and your beast have a special connection. In combat, you can use your bonus action to have your companion make two attacks instead of one. This increases to three attacks at level 12.
Closest Ally and Friend
You choose one ally to become your Closest Ally. When you or your ally are reduced to 0 hit points or are knocked unconscious, the other gains advantage on attack rolls against the creature that caused the damage until the end of your or their next turn or until you or your ally are revived.
Courtly Charms
You have learned the intricacies of courtly etiquette and know how to conduct yourself in noble circles. You gain proficiency in the Persuasion skill, and you can use your Intelligence modifier instead of your Charisma modifier when making Persuasion checks to influence the opinions of nobles or courtiers.
Dark Heritage
Ywain has taught you how to properly identify and deal with dark magic. You have advantage on saving throws made against spell attacks.
