Unicorn Knight
On the eve of destiny of those who are chosen by divine right, a unicorn will present itself to this mortal and form a unique bonding ritual cementing itself as their partner.
Unicorn knights are held as some of the most famed heroes and royals who are destined to bring about change to their lands. With their celestial steed at their side these fighters lead the charge, fueled by a divine magic that cloaks them in a graceful light.
There are those who forsake their destiny on this Path and as they turn from the light so dose their partner. These are called Knightmares, who's infamy and cruelty rivals that of their grace bound brethrens benevolence.
Royal Saddle
Beginning at 3rd level, if you fall off your mount and descend no more than 10 feet, you can land on your feet if you are not incapacitated. Mounting and dismounting takes you only 5 feet instead of half your movement.
Loyal Unicorn
Also at 3rd level, a unicorn has graced you with its presence and has opened an unspoken bond with you. As an action, you can magically summon the unicorn that is bound to you, appearing in an unoccupied space of your choice within 30 feet of you.
The Loyal Unicorn is friendly to you and your companions, and it obeys your commands. See its game statistics in the accompanying Loyal Unicorn stat block, which uses your proficiency bonus (PB) in several places. You can determine the cosmetic characteristics of the unicorn, such as its color, or its animal makeup; your choice has no effect on its game statistics.
In combat, the unicorn 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 another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. If you are incapacitated, the unicorn can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.
The unicorn remains until it is reduced to 0 hit points, until you use this feature to summon the unicorn again, or until you die. Anything the unicorn was wearing or carrying is left behind when the unicorn vanishes.
Once you summon the unicorn, you can’t do so again until you finish a short or long rest.
Cape of Grace
At 7th level, while you are mounted on your Loyal Unicorn your bond ignites the dormant magic within it, this magic causes your unicorns mane to flare up with magic and forms around you in the form of a cape or cloak. When you hit a creature with a weapon attack while you are mounted on your Loyal Unicorn you deal an additional 1d4 radiant damage.
Additionally, your Loyal Unicorn's attacks count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.
Healing Horn
At 10th level, legends speak of the natural healing powers of the unicorn. When you use your Second Wind feature your Loyal Unicorn regains an equal number of hit points as you do. Alternatively, your unicorn can grant these hit points to a creature within 30ft. of it.
