Traits

Mounted Combatant. When the Drakerider takes damage while mounted, it must succeed on a Constitution saving throw with a DC of half the damage taken. On a failed save, the Drakerider falls from its mount to the ground and is knocked prone.

Draconic Bloodbond. While the Drakerider is mounted on a Lesser Flamedrake, the Lesser Flamedrake shares the Drakeriders initiative and acts based on the Drakeriders verbal commands. The Drakerider can command its mount to take any action or bonus action excluding its multiattack. 

Actions

Multiattack. The Drakerider makes two slam or thrust attacks using its halberd.

Slam. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 8 (1d10 + 3) slashing damage. Additionally, a medium or smaller creature hit by this attack must succeed on a DC 13 Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.

Thrust. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 15 ft., one target. Hit: 9 (1d12 + 3) piercing damage.

Greatbow Shot. Ranged Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, range 100/400 ft., one target. Hit: 16 (2d12 + 3) piercing damage.

Bonus Actions

Drakeriders Mount. The Drakerider uses 10 feet of its movement speed to mount a Lesser Flamedrake without provoking opportunity attacks. 

Emblazoned Strike (Recharge 5-6). As a bonus action, the Drakerider calls upon its firey vita to imbue its next melee or ranged weapon attack with an extra 1d10 fire damage.

Reactions

Improved Opportunity Attack. The Drakerider can make a thrust attack when a creature enters within the attacks range. Additionally, the Drakerider can make a slam attack when a creature exits the attacks range.

Description

The Drakeriders of Courvas are elite, specalized knights of Courvas' greater military force led by Thraas, their Captain. Each and every Drakerider is bonded to a Courvian Flamedrake through vita and blood, and their connection is said to be inseparable, the Drakeriders and Flamedrakes themselves operating like kin. Together, the Flamedrakes and Drakeriders serve as one of the main forces watching over and defending the kingdom of Courvas, providing aerial assault from above and raining fire down upon those that would try to besiege the kingdoms' walls.
