- Feral Mount: At level 5, you finally get your own horse! This is when the Bloodrider really starts to feel like a mounted class.
- Bloodrage: Similar to the Bloodrager, you can enter a powerful rage state, boosting your combat stats.
- Damage Reduction: You'll gain increasing amounts of damage reduction as you level up, making you tougher to take down.
- Greater Bloodrage & Mighty Bloodrage: These are upgrades to your Bloodrage, making it even more potent at higher levels.
Basically, the Bloodrider sacrifices some of the Bloodrager's personal movement abilities to gain the benefits of being mounted. If you love the idea of charging into battle on horseback, this class is definitely for you!
