SPECIAL ABILITIES

Combat Trained

A combat trained pony can bear a rider into combat and knows the tricks attack, come, defend, down, guard, and heel.

• Attack The animal attacks apparent enemies. You may point to a particular creature that you wish the animal to attack, and it will comply if able. Normally, an animal will attack only humanoids, monstrous humanoids, giants, or other animals.
• Come The animal comes to you, even if it normally would not do so.
• Defend The animal defends you (or is ready to defend you if no threat is present), even without any command being given. Alternatively, you can command the animal to defend a specific other character.
• Down The animal breaks off from combat or otherwise backs down. An animal that doesn’t know this trick continues to fight until it must flee (due to injury, a fear effect, or the like) or its opponent is defeated.
• Guard The animal stays in place and prevents others from approaching.
• Heel The animal follows you closely, even to places where it normally wouldn’t go.
