Valenar Calvary PrC? These horses are cool. :)

I could see the PrC focusing on mounted archery considering the horses are meant for speed and not combat.

Actually I'd have it focus on using the double scimitar while riding, the double scimitar is special to the Valenar afterall. The Valenar seem to be more likely to use melee combat over ranged.

I actually thought about this last night and intended to make a double-scimitar wielding, Valenar horse riding, elven "something"...

A PrC would help out SO much with this... :)

I could see using the following PrCs as a base tinkering with them to put them more in a flavor of the Valenar:

Cavalier from CW, BattleMaiden or Kishi Charger from OA, or Shinjo Explorer from Rokugan

One ability that could be quite deadly in a couple of these classes is Burst of Speed which which doubles the max distance the mount can travel when making a charge.

Re: the Cavalier, you could switch the bonuses from lance/sword to short bow/scimitar. You could also switch the knowledge bonus to a survival bonus.

Re: the battlemaiden, little alteration is needed. Just consider the special mount a valenar riding horse with those special abilities and stats. When the special mounts speed increases to 60 and 70 either increase the valenar riding horses speed to 90 and 100 or put in different special abilities.

Re: the kishi charger, sub out the WP (lance) requirement for either a scimitar or a short bow requirement. No other changes need be made.

Re: the shinjo explorer: Make the Valenar riding horse available as an Animal Companion. Switch out the 4th level way of the land for a weapon bonus. Switch out the Gaijin gear abilities for other bonuses. Maybe an initiative bonus. The 7th and 10th level animal companion abilities can be subed out for either increases in your valenar riding horse or added weapon bonus.
